Specialty Property Mortgage Navigator

Sometimes the borrower qualifies—but the property doesn't fit the lender's box. That is a different problem, and often a solvable one.

Find the actual failure point

Is the issue condo-project eligibility, hotel/transient characteristics, commercial use, acreage, zoning, appraisal comparability, multiple structures, insurance, title, access, condition, or one investor’s overlay? Identifying the exact issue determines whether another program can help.

“Not agency eligible” does not always mean “not financeable.” It may mean the property falls outside a particular agency, condo-project, appraisal, or lender matrix. Private-investor and portfolio options can differ. Specialty financing is never guaranteed: property, valuation, title, insurance, zoning, occupancy, loan purpose and investor rules still control.

Agency reference points

Fannie general · Fannie special · Fannie condo · Fannie mixed · Freddie condo. These are agency reference points, not universal private-investor rules.
