• FLORIDA CO-OP MORTGAGE PURCHASE

Florida housing markets in certain parts present a unique challenge for prospective Florida condo, co-op, nd non warrantable Florida homeowners. Florida mortgage regulations, as well as soaring Florida home prices, make traditional homeownership difficult, especially for newer or less financially established Florida mortgage applicants. In these instances, consumers are turning to Condos, Co-Op and Nonwarrantable condo lenders to achieve their homeownership goals.

Florida mortgage lenders appreciate helping Florida COOP home buyers and homeowners that when it comes to property ownership, it is the destination that matters and not the journey. This is why our Florida Mortgage Lenders excel at assisting Florida borrowers in obtaining Florida mortgages. 

Florida Co-Op Mortgage Lenders 

Florida cooperative, better known as a co-op, is a situation in which a single corporate entity owns an apartment building or similar multi-unit residential property. The Florida shareholders of the corporation are granted a lease by the corporation, which gives them proprietary ownership of a specific unit within the co-op unit apartment building. Florida co-op lenders provide what is sometimes called a share loan. A share loan designed for the Florida coop buyer to purchase shares in a corporation that then entitles them to a lease agreement and residence in one of the Florida coop housing units.

Florida Co-op Lease Agreement

A Florida lease agreement for each housing cooperative is different, but they generally lay out the length of habitation and other benefits that Florida co-op stockholders are entitled to as well as details regarding additional fees that the Florida cooperative residents are responsible for. Benefits may include the use of Florida coop community spaces, while fees usually include taxes and related operational and maintenance expenses.

Florida Co-op lease agreements and associated fees are determined by the cooperative board. This is essentially a group of shareholders that make policy decisions similar to a board of directors for a typical corporation. They approve everything from stock sales to esthetic requirements.

Challenges With Florida Co-Op Mortgage Lenders 

The majority of Florida real estate loans are provided to allow the borrower to buy a property in its entirety. A Florida Co-op loan is different from any other type of loan in that the Florida mortgage applicant is not purchasing any portion of a physical property. A Florida Co-Op loan allows Florida mortgage applicants to purchase a stock certificate in a corporation that owns a Florida co op building. The result may be the same as if the Florida co-op mortgage applicants bought a condominium outright; they live in a specific unit of a larger building, but the journey is very different.

Florida COOP Mortgage Lenders Risk

With a traditional Florida mortgage lender is essentially using the physical property as collateral for the loan. In the event that the borrower defaults, the Florida mortgage lender begins foreclosure proceedings and eventually comes to terms with the borrower or gains possession of the home. If they gain possession of the home, they then attempt to sell the home to recoup the value of the original Florida mortgage loan. Anytime a mortgage deviates from this progression it adds a level of cost and complication that most Florida mortgage lender simply find unprofitable in the long run.

The first way in which a co-op deviates from a traditional Florida mortgage lender is that the lender has a lien against both the stock certificate for the Florida corporation and on the lease agreement. This makes foreclosure proceedings extremely complicated. More concerning for the Florida mortgage lender is that they are technically “second place” on liens relative to the co-op board. If the The Florida co-op borrower stops making Florida mortgage lender payments and stops paying Florida co-op fees, the cooperative board takes legal precedent in any foreclosure proceedings. The second issue is that even if a Florida mortgage lender does manage to foreclose on a co-op loan and take possession of the stock certificate they cannot resell the certificate without the help of the Florida cooperative board.

The main reason Florida co-op mortgage lender are scarce, however, is that Florida co-ops themselves are not very common. Most cooperatives are in high-density population centers on the west and east coast. Even though, a relatively small percentage of the eligible Florida co op real estate is owned by a housing cooperative. However, at Florida mortgage lenders, we tailor our Florida co-op loans to meet borrower needs and not the other way around. Our Florida co op mortgage lenders will work hard to secure the Florida mortgage that our customers request no matter how rare the situation is.
