Buying a condo- higher interest rates?
Posted on 5/3/13 at 6:45 pm

I'm a former agent, but dealt exclusively with single-family sales and property management, so my experience with the sale of a condo is zilch.
The lender told me that condo loans typically come with a higher interest rate. Can anyone tell me why that is? I have a good credit score (730-740) and they are quoting me 3.75%. I was hoping to get around 3%. Is this the norm?

Most condo associstions make it harder to approve because you are not handling the indurance. Also precent being rented out.

Higher risk.

Plenty of banks got burned in the condo market. A condo is an undesirable piece of collateral. There are more factors, but lIke the poster above said. Higher perceived risk, means a higher rate.

High rises in downtown nashville are on fire. My client yesterday was quoted 2.85 on 15 yr from his credit union with 25% down. That's pretty good IMO.

On fire huh? Sounds familiar. 
If I can't own the land underneath on a fee simple basis, I dont touch it.
Besides,Franklin is where the players play.

It's crazy market here. Pull up realtracs.com and check what condo's are selling for and renting for at ICON, Encore, & Adelicia for starters. Let me know when you need my services
Two more 1M under contract in my hood last week. Feels good at 1000 less sq. ft but in at 575k

Do you mind saying what lender are you using in Dallas? Mine is quoting me around 4% for a condo. I'm still shopping around though.
