Condo Hotel Mortgages - Better Than Traditional Condos

The condo hotel trend has been much ballyhooed, so why are lenders still sitting on the fence when it comes to consumer mortgage financing? Here are three simple reasons: 1.) The secondary markets (FNMA, FHLMC) have not seen enough condo hotel paper to grade the risks/rewards of this proportionately new asset class. 2.) Condo hotel is somewhere between a commercial hotel loan and a residential second home/investment property consumer mortgage, so they don't fit neatly into existing portfolios/guidelines. 3.) The yield/interest rate that a well-healed condo hotel purchaser is willing to pay on a 30-year mortgage is much lower than timeshare and other vacation ownership rates. Making this new yet-to-be determined risk hard to justify. Many of the new condo hotel offerings are even more difficult to mortgage at market interest rates and terms, because they are smaller than 600 square feet in size, do not have kitchens, include FF&E chattel in the sales price, and may be ...

Fixing Up The Condo

The modern condo is a bit of a different entity from the average home and as such the process of preparing one for sale is a whole new ball of wax. Without having to worry about the external appeal of a condo, this leaves the seller much more time to concentrate on the presentation of the unit and improving the assets that their particular unit possesses. Now many condos are quite different, especially if they were built with the "buyer design" option that has gained popularity rapidly in the last few years. Basically what needs to be done here is an impersonal assessment of the condo and subsequently, what could use some improvement. If you have bought your condo pre-construction and now is the time to sell then there is very little that you should need to do aside from maybe renting a few pieces of furniture to help showcase the unit. Any home usually shows better with some furnishings in it. This helps the buyers to get a feel for what will actually fit in the space th...

While, every state has different insurance laws, most condo insurance policies share a few similar items. Maybe you were wondering what kind of responsibility your condominium association will have and what type of insurance they have to supply the unit owners.

Most of the condo home association insurance has limited coverage since people living in the condo have diff...
