We have a HELOC provider that does not care a whit about condo/HOA issues – including litigation, owner occupancy ratios, commercial use, ownership concentration, structural problems, or budget/balance sheet issues.
They will finance non-warrantable condos for purchases with as little as 10% down!
All they require is an appraisal, adequate credit, adequate condo insurance, and sufficient income.
Non-warrantable condos once again are condos that Fannie and Freddie won’t finance because of HOA issues.
Over 40% of Our Business Is Now Non-traditional Financing (Saving Many Deals!)
A few years ago, I was very worried about the commoditization of the mortgage industry, as about 90% of our business was 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with full income documentation.
Everyone was offering the same product, and many borrowers (online shoppers in particular) did not seem to care about our online reviews, faster closes, assistance getting offers accepted, better service, etc. – they just wanted a lower rate.
Fortunately, that has changed markedly, as unique products now reign supreme.
They’ve not only vastly improved our business, but they’re saving deals left and right for the agents we work with.
Even better, agents now understand this – and our expertise in the unique product realm is a major selling point for us when we meet with agents.

- Non-Warrantable Condo Financing
- Bridge Loan/Buy-Before-You-Sell Financing
- Down Payment Assistance Loans
