Found the perfect condo? We can help you get it
You’ve found a condo you love. The location is right, the price feels good, and you can picture yourself there. Then you hear it’s “non-warrantable”, and suddenly the financing gets complicated.
Here’s the good news: a non-warrantable label doesn’t mean a dead end. It just means the property doesn’t meet standard guidelines set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, usually because of things like high investor ownership, ongoing litigation, or commercial space in the building. None of that has to stop you.
First Heritage Mortgage offers financing specifically for non-warrantable condos, so you can move forward with confidence.

What makes a condo non-warrantable? Let’s break it down
Most mortgage lenders use guidelines from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to approve loans for condominium properties. When a condo building doesn’t meet those guidelines, it’s labeled “non-warrantable.”
A condo unit might be considered non-warrantable if:
- The project is new construction and/or has yet to be completed
- The developer has not turned over control of the HOA to the owners
- A high percentage of units are occupied by non-owners
- The community allows short-term rentals
- A single person or entity owns more than 10% of the total number of units
- The building owner or developer is involved in litigation of any kind
None of these factors necessarily make the property a bad investment. They just require a different kind of loan. That’s exactly what we offer.
