Condominium Reviewer Registry Announcement

Lender staff responsible for reviewing condominium approval packages under the Direct Endorsement Lender Approval and Review Process (DELRAP) must be registered in the FHA Connection as condominium reviewers. Due to an internal database error, the required registration date is extended to December 5, 2011.  Reviewers of packages using the HRAP option are not required to register.

Section 203 (b) of the National Housing Act provides authority to insure any mortgage covering a one-family unit in a project coupled with an undivided interest in the common areas and facilities which serve the project. 

Eligible projects are those that have been declared and exist in full compliance with applicable state law requirements of the jurisdiction in which the condominium project is located, including good standing with the state, and with all other applicable laws and regulations.

FHA insures condominium single unit loans for up to 30-year terms to purchase or refinance a unit in an FHA-approved condominium project.  The condominium project must be primarily residential, contain at least two dwelling units and can be detached, semi-detached, a row house, a walk-up, mid-rise, high-rise, including those with or without an elevator, or manufactured housing.
