When your condo doesn't meet conventional loan requirements.

Condominiums can be flagged as non-warrantable for any number of reasons-the project has yet to be completed, too many units are occupied by non-owners, one person or entity owns more than 10% of the total number of units, or the developer has not turned over control of the HOA to the owners. Whatever the reason, when this happens, getting a loan to purchase a condo on this property can be very difficult. NASB is a mortgage leader for providing non-QM loans like non-warrantable condo loans. We understand that not all borrowers can get a conventional loan, and work with them to get the financing they need quickly and efficiently.

Non-Warrantable Condo Loan FAQs

A non-warrantable condo loan is what borrowers seek to purchase a condo when it doesn't meet conventional loan requirement and cannot be approved by government-backed entities like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. 

There are a number of factors that can contribute to a condo being tagged as non-warrantable, including:

  • Ownership requires a membership, like a golf club.
  • The project is new construction and not completed yet.
  • One person or entity owns more than 10% of the total number of units.
  • The condo allows for the majority of the units to be rentals and/or short-term rental units.
  • The condo developer hasn’t ceded control of the owner’s association yet.
  • More than 25% of the units in development will be used commercially.
  • There is litigation of any kind tied to the project.

Non-warrantable condo loan requirements include:

  • A minimum credit score of 680
  • Last two years of verifiable income, including W-2s and tax returns
  • A debt-to-income ratio (DTI) of no more than 45%
