Check Fannie Mae Condo Requirements

Occupancy Requirements

Fannie Mae wants to make sure people actually live in the condos they finance. So, at least 51% of the units in the condo building must be owner-occupied. That means the owners live there themselves.

Insurance Requirements

The condo building must have insurance coverage, including liability and property insurance. This ensures that if something bad happens, like a fire or a flood, there's enough insurance to cover the costs.

Financial Health

Fannie Mae checks the financial health of the condo association. They want to see that the association has enough money saved up for repairs and maintenance. This helps protect your investment in the condo.

Legal Issues

Fannie Mae also looks into any legal issues the condo building might have. This includes things like lawsuits or disputes. They want to make sure there aren't any major problems that could affect your ability to live in or sell the condo.

Condo Size

Fannie Mae has size requirements for condos. They prefer condos to be at least 400 square feet in size. This ensures that the condo is livable and meets basic standards.

Did You Know?

When a manufactured house has been moved from another property, a special non-conforming loan product will be required. This requires a minimum of 5% down and will have higher interest rates associated with the loan.
