What is a warrantable condo?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
A warrantable condo is a project that meets Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards — adequate reserves, healthy owner-occupancy, proper insurance, no major litigation, and no single owner controlling too many units.
Warrantable projects get standard conventional financing and the best rates. We'll check a building's warrantability up front so financing isn't a surprise.
