FINANCING
In general, condo loans are more complex than purchasing a single family or town-home. There are additional requirements for Florida condo associations that do not exist in other typical Florida mortgage transactions. The condo must be approved via the condo association questionnaire before buyers can achieve financing towards a Florida condo. Urbanista employs financing strategies that entice potential buyers. From local and national lender relationships, we can quickly pursue FHA, nonconventional and conventional financing offering loan programs to fit any potential buyer’s budget.
BUY vs. RENT
“Today’s renters are tomorrow’s buyers” it is now better to own a condominium than to rent in downtown Tampa and Orlando. Per analysis by the real estate site Trulia, it’s 38% cheaper to own (including mortgage, insurance, taxes, and maintenance) than to rent. There are two key reasons for this amazing advantage: 30-year fixed mortgage rates are still at historically low levels (a little over 4%) and rents have been rising faster than home prices. Urbanista has devised buy vs. Rent seminars to covert condominium renters into buyers.
