Non-Warrantable Condo Loans in Connecticut

Condominiums are a common way to own a home in many parts of Connecticut, from city buildings to resort-style projects. When a project has a lawsuit, a heavy share of commercial space, hotel-style rentals or repair and reserve problems, it can fall outside Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards. Non-warrantable condo loans give Connecticut buyers and owners a way to finance those units, with pricing and down payment expectations that differ from agency loans.

Connecticut condo rules: Connecticut condominiums fall under one of three laws depending on when the complex was created: the Unit Ownership Act, the Condominium Act, or the Common Interest Ownership Act. A seller must give the buyer the declaration, association bylaws, rules and regulations, and resale documents, which include the common charges and the association's reserve for capital expenditures.

Common questions

Will a non-warrantable condo be hard to sell later?

It can be. Future buyers face the same financing limits you did, which shrinks the pool of buyers who can use a conventional loan. If the project later fixes its issue, such as resolving a lawsuit or rebuilding reserves, it may regain eligibility. Factor resale into your decision, especially if you expect to move again before long.

Can I get a non-warrantable condo loan if I am self-employed?

Many programs allow it. Non-warrantable condo financing is often available with alternative documentation, such as 12 or 24 months of bank statements, a P&L statement prepared or verified by a CPA, EA or licensed tax preparer, or asset-based income. The project review and your income review are separate steps, and both need to work for the loan to close.

How do I find out if a condo is warrantable?

Your lender reviews the project, usually by sending a questionnaire to the homeowners association and collecting its budget, insurance and other documents. The answers show whether the project meets agency standards. You can get a head start by asking the listing agent or management company how past buyers financed their units and whether any lawsuits, special assessments or major repairs are pending.
