The Department of Housing and Urban Development has issued new guidance on its policies for approving and recertifying condominium projects that are eligible for Federal Housing Administration financing.
HUD also consolidated its condo guidelines into a 95-page booklet for easy reference.
"This guidance formalizes and expands the policies we put in place in 2009 and lays the groundwork for a more formal rulemaking process going forward," FHA acting commissioner Robert Ryan said.
The new guidance gives the FHA Homeownership Centers more flexibility in making exceptions to owner-occupancy requirements and other rules.
