A condo can pass every test and still get denied financing. 🏔️

I just closed an investor purchase in Silverthorne where the building checked out clean:

✓ No HOA-run rental program ✓ No front desk or check-in ✓ Real residential units, full kitchens, all over 500 sq ft ✓ No association housekeeping

By the textbook definition, not a condotel. And yet Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac still flagged it as one.

Why? Because when you Google the complex, the first things that come up are Booking.com, Airbnb, and VRBO. The underwriter called it "largely transient in nature." That online footprint alone was enough.

The lesson: a condo doesn't have to operate like a hotel to get labeled one. If most of the units trade as vacation rentals, an underwriter can read the whole project as transient — and conventional financing disappears for every owner in the building.

The good news: this didn't kill the deal. As a broker, I had a non-QM lender that finances condotels as investment purchases, so we closed it. When the agencies say no, it's not always the end of the road.

Got a condo coming up in a resort or rental market? Check the project BEFORE you write the offer.

Condos got easier to finance in 3 ways this year — and harder in 2. 🏢

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rewrote the condo rules in 2026, and if you're buying, selling, or listing a condo, here's what changed:

✅ EASIER (already in effect) → Investors can buy again — the 50% owner-occupancy rule is gone → Insurance requirements loosened, so buildings flagged "unavailable" can come back → More small + Florida projects qualify with less red tape

⚠️ HARDER (coming on set dates) → The Limited Review shortcut goes away Aug 3, 2026 — an estimated 40–65% of condo loans move to a slower Full Review → Reserve requirements get stricter through 2027

The part that catches people off guard: a condo can look totally normal and still be non-warrantable — and a bigger down payment won't fix it. The building has to qualify, not just the buyer.

If you've got a condo coming up, check the project BEFORE you write the offer — not three days before closing.

Most people think looking into a reverse mortgage is complicated. It isn't. 👇
To find out if the numbers even work, I need exactly two things:
✅ The homeowner's age
✅ The home's value
That's it. No credit pull. No income docs. No tax returns.
From those two numbers we find the "principal limit" — the share of your home value you may be able to borrow against. Enough to answer the real questions: Could it pay off your current mortgage? What would a line of credit look like?
If you've ever wondered what your home could do for you in retirement — or you've got a client who's asked — this is the place to start.
📩 DM me your age + home value and I'll tell you if the numbers work, or read the full breakdown here:

"But Credit Karma says I'm a 740..."

That conversation just changed. UWM now pulls both FICO and VantageScore — and uses whichever gets you the better deal.

Worth a second look if your Credit Karma score has always run higher than what lenders quote you.
