Does Your Condo Project Need an FHA Recertification or a Full Project Approval?

By
Mortgage and Lending with Guaranteed Rate NMLS# 2611 NMLS #151088

On December 7, 2010, a majority of all condo projects will see their FHA Project Approvals expire.  Once that happens, the project will either need a recertification or a full project approval.  You must first determine the date that the project was initially granted its FHA approval.  This can be checked at:  https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/condlook.cfm. 

  • If project initially approved prior to January 1, 2000, then a full project approval is going to be required.
  • If project initially approved on or after January 1, 2000, then the project may be eligible for the recertification process.

If you are planning on purchasing a condo and you will be using FHA financing, then you must know the status of the project.

 I was just wondering when the date was that this new FHA requirement was going to go into effect.  I wonder how associations are handling this... have you heard anything... It looks like this could bring condo sales to a halt.

Joan....I doubt very many HOA's have been proactive and submitted directly to HUD for approval.  Since the appraisal cannot be ordered until the project is FHA approved, you will need to allow at least another 1-2 weeks for the closing.  It will take at least that long to get the project reviewed approved by the lender.

Rodney - OY VEY!!!  Not looking forward to this at all.  There are so many condo complexes around here now that have already lost their status for one reason or another and can not get it back and this will just further the challenge for buyers to get condo financing.
