Condo Owner Occupancy Ratios Irrelevant for Owner-Occupants

By Jay Voorhees

March 31, 2014 1 min read

This is a reminder that Condominium Owner-Occupancy Ratios are irrelevant if the person seeking financing intends to occupy the unit she is buying.

It is only investors looking for financing who need to worry about occupancy ratios. Most investor financing requires occupancy ratios greater than 50%.
