The Condo Communities that are sold for less than $100,000 are normally sold to First Time Home Buyers. However, many of these Condo Subdivisions can only offer terms for “Cash, Conventional, or Seller Financing”, since many of them are not meeting the required standards to go FHA. The government has tightened up their requirements, and buyers need to be prepared to purchase a condo unit by other means than going for the FHA loans. Many of these Condo Communities have high investor ownership. Eric Boucher recently wrote, “How to Avoid High Investor Concentrations in Condominiums”, which offers some suggestions for many of these communities, who are wanting to attract the FHA buyers.
