If you are working on a condo transaction, it would be beneficial to find out the owner-occupancy ratio as soon as possible. For conventional loan transactions involving less than 20% down payment where mortgage insurance is required, 60% owner-occupancy at minimum is generally required.

FHA loan transactions requires the condo to be FHA approved AND have 51% owner-occupancy.

VA loan transactions requires the condo to be VA approved, however there are no owner-occupancy ratio requirement.

UPDATED AS OF AUGUST 28TH TO RECOGNIZE ADDITIONAL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS IN HAWAII

The other day, Neal Bloom posted about the lack of professionalism in some agents.....Please shut off the lights.....leave your card.....lock the door and say good-bye . I thought about how lucky Tonya and I were lately as I read through Neals post.
