Can Buyers Finance Your Condo? Let’s Find Out.
Before you list, get a free project review from our trusted lending partner to unlock more buyer opportunities — even if your condo was once labeled “cash only.”
Most simply put, the condo doesn't meet strict lending standards for FNMA (Fannie Mae) or FRMC (Freddie Mac).
Many sellers are told this means they have to list as "Cash Only"
That really limits exposure and the pool of qualified buyers.
Let's be sure.
Your condo might still meet less stringent lending standards with other programs.
Too Many Rentals
More than 50% of units are investor-owned or rented, reducing owner-occupancy.
High Delinquency Rates
More than 15% of owners are behind on HOA dues, signaling financial instability.
Active Litigation
The condo association is involved in a lawsuit, especially structural or financial disputes.
Underfunded Reserves
The HOA budget lacks sufficient reserve funds or doesn’t meet the 10% reserve contribution guideline.
Master Insurance Certificate (Required)
Including liability, hazard, and flood (if applicable)

Why Submit a Pre-Financing Review to One Stop Mortgage?
Because it puts you in control.
By having your condo building reviewed up front, you’ll know exactly what financing options are available before you list.
That means fewer surprises, a larger pool of qualified buyers, and less risk of falling out of contract.
One Stop specializes in non-warrantable condo financing—so if there’s a way to make your unit financeable, they’ll find it.
Short answer, no. However, the list that can now be deemed eligible for financing options with rates and terms comparable to a conventional loan has grown, exponentially.
