Greetings!

Welcome to the Real Estate Coffee House(sm). Each week our panel of experts will discuss a timely real estate topic. Join us online every Friday from at 9:00 am to 10 am. 

BYOC Bring your own coffee ☕️

THIS WEEK's TOPIC:

New FNMA - Freddie Mac Regulations make it harder to loan to Condos. Non-QM loans for non-warrantable condos may be the solution.

This week Tom Davis, Chief Sales Officer of Deephaven Mortgage will be joining the Real Estate Coffee House to inform us about two new rules adversely impacting condo financing. One rule became effective August 3, 2026. This change eliminated the limited/streamlined review process for condominium associations. On January 4, 2027 FNMA and Freddie Mac rules will increase the minimum reserve contributions condos must make from 10% to 15%. These regulations make it harder for Condominiums to qualify for conforming mortgage loans.

Tom Davis will explain the differences between conforming and non-conforming mortgage loans and how non-QM mortgage loans may provide the solution for those condominiums who no longer qualify for conforming FNMA and Freddie Mac loans.

Join us this Friday to learn more about this weeks topic.
