Condo financing doesn’t have to be complicated! Yes, You Can Condo! gives real estate professionals a practical, easy-to-understand look at today’s condo financing landscape, including the latest 2026 conventional guideline changes and how they impact transactions.
Attendees will learn what makes condo financing unique; how project reviews, HOA budgets and reserves, insurance, special assessments, structural concerns, and project characteristics can affect financing eligibility; and what financing options may be available when a project doesn’t fit the conventional box. The course also explores conventional, FHA/VA, and non-warrantable financing and uses fun, real-world scenarios to help agents recognize potential issues early, understand available solutions, and guide condo buyers with greater confidence.
The goal: make condo financing understandable—and even fun—with fewer surprises, more solutions, and greater confidence when the next condo opportunity comes along. Yes, You Can Condo!
