For such a small space, a condo can be one of the biggest and most complex housing choices to purchase. I have worked with my clients off and on for over a year and a half and we are now officially under contract. If you are interested in purchasing a condominium, here are some things you need to understand before beginning your search:

1. Monthly HOA Fees - Many complexes have exorbitant monthly HOA fees which can quickly stretch you beyond your budget for a mortgage payment. Working with your loan officer upfront to know the range you need to stay in not only for an overall pre-approval amount, but a range for the additional monthly HOA fees will set the stage for where your efforts can be best utilized when searching for a unit.

2. Financing Restrictions - A lot of people do not know that complexes must be an approved complex when a buyer will be utilizing FHA or VA financing opportunities. These approved complexes typically have to adhere to higher maintenance regimes to qualify to be approved and will deal with a bit more red tape overall,, therefore, you will find a good number of complexes that will not be approved. The application process must be initiated by the complex making it a free choice on thier end. A complex does not have to get approved just because of your type of financing. If you don't want to switch financing options, you will simply need to move on with your search to find a complex that will align with your choice of financing.

3. Uninsurable And Unwarrantable Complexes - Although there are a number of factors that could make a complex uninsurable such as structural issues or a history of a high amount of claims to name only a couple, a more often seen reason is a high investor or rental concentration: An excess of investor-owned units (often those with more than 10% ownership by a single entity) can make a complex "unwarrantable" and difficult to insure, especially for mortgages. There are some creative financing options out there that can make financing possible, however, not all lenders will do a creative finance and if you plan on reselling at some point, keep in mind that your pool of buyers will be much smaller if these factors remain in place for the duration because the mainstream population will either not have the means to do creative financing or perhaps they simply will not want to take on the additional ramifications.

4. Experienced Realtor - I highly recommend that you seek the services of a highly knowledgeable real estate professional like myself to purchase or sell a condominium. One that understands the complexities of this unique type of housing. It is a fun, low maintenance lifestyle that, with some extra due diligence, can be a very rewarding home choice to experience and enjoy.
