Condohotel Loans are a Challenge these days

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 11:22am. 1466 Views, 0 Comments.

Getting a loan for a Condohotel is very difficult in this current economic climate.  Not all condos are challenging but Condohotels which are condos with a front desk are a major challenge these days.  I am finding that there are some loans available but that the interest rates are very high and in the range of about 8% to 9%.  I find this really suprises buyers who see some very low interest rates being advertised by banks.   Banks not only look at the buyer but they also look at the type of property that the buyer wants to purchase.  Banks look at condohotels as a high risk property.  

If you are looking to get a good deal on a condo in Park City and plan on getting a loan to purchase a condo, then you really need to consider what type of a condo it…

Economic Stimulus Package

Thursday, February 14th, 2008 at 10:06am. 454 Views, 0 Comments.

house-and-money.jpg President Bush is expected to sign the highly anticipated stimulus package.  The plan now includes rebate checks for 100 million Americans and will also raise conforming loan limits in some areas for Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and FHA loans. Several things must occur before applications with the higher loan amounts can be accepted by any lender:

  • The internal impacts to Freddie, Fannie and FHA must be assessed to determine the delivery approach to mortgage lenders.
  • Freddie, Fannie and FHA must communicate their requirements to mortgage lenders.
  • HUD has 30 days from the final passage of the legislation to provide their official loan limits for all areas.  Please note that the increases are a temporary solution for some high-cost…
