For conventional financing, condos need to be 'warrantable' if the condo or HOA doesn't meet those guidelines it is 'non-warrantable' and there are alternative or Non-QM (non conventional) lenders that offer financing.

What terms are they offering?

I found a property, contacted an  agent, made an offer.

Probably not.When I have offers due on my listings at 12 noon on a Tuesday, and Im calling all the agents who submitted offers to negotiate those contracts.....and the part time guy who is at his day job doesnt answer...what do you think happens to their offer?

Whether you're an experienced lender or someone with valuable insights to offer, your contribution would be immensely valuable to me and others who may be considering a similar path.Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

In hindsight, I should have purchased sewer insurance right out of the gate (if they offer that where you live) or at least, had the line camera scoped so I could see what it looked like.  

I need an insurance company that is still writing new policies in Southern California.I recently received three no renewal letters from insurers.

Started putting offers in around late January.

I currently have a CPA (only handles taxes and offers standard tax deductions advice) and a wealth manager at Abacus (handles retirement investments and stocks- IRA, 401K, etc).

There are a couple of ways around due on sale which require training, (not LandTrusts by the way) but I have not seen anyone offer those on Bigger Pockets.
