FHA Approved Sparks Condos
 

When considering purchasing a Condo or Townhouse with FHA financing, the projects or complexes must have already been approved by FHA or HUD. There are no exceptions to this rule. Condominium projects must meet several criteria to get approval.

 One key requirement is they must be at least 51% owner occupied. Another Key requirement is the condo  development must be at least 90% sold and no one entity can own more than 10% of the total units.

FHA approval is not permanent and approved projects must get approval certificates every two years. Lenders are required to make sure these properties meet the owner occupancy requirements and all other requirements for each loan submitted to get an insurance endorsement.

Currently many folks are looking to take advantage of low interest rates, first time home buyer mortgage opportunities and low selling prices that are available in the current real estate market.

Condominiums and Townhouses generally cost less than a similarly located and sized single-family homes. Because the overall cost is lower, both the monthly mortgage payment and the property taxes will be lower.

Very timely post! Although conforming loans do not need the FHA approval, they still need to have 51% owner occupancy. As investors are now purchasing so many condos, it has become very difficult to find units that qualify for financing.  The other problem is section 32. Minimum lender and escrow fees result in high cost loans.

Most buyers considering a condo believe the monthly payment will be much lower than a house. The HOA fees for most associations in the Reno Sparks area are in the $185-$300 per month range. Based on current interest rates, your buyer can buy a home costing $30,000 to $50,000 more with same monthly payment as the condo.

When home prices fell, nothing fell harder than condos. When the market finally recovers, condos will be the last segment of the market to rebound. By suggesting a stick built home with a comparable monthly payment, you will be working in your buyer best interest.
