In this episode, I discuss with Jay Sills the complexities of condo mortgages compared to single-family home mortgages. Key differences include the need to verify if a condo is warrantable or non-warrantable, which affects financing. Condo mortgages require additional steps, such as assessing homeowners association (HOA) delinquencies, which must be below 15% to avoid financing issues. Jay emphasizes the importance of HOA financial health, including reserve funds for repairs. He shares examples of delays due to HOA delinquencies and lack of funds for necessary repairs. I highlight the importance of asking the right questions to avoid potential pitfalls in condo purchases.
