Why Can't Anyone Get a Loan to Buy in My California HOA?

You finally found a buyer for your condo. Great credit, healthy down payment, deal practically done, and then the loan falls apart, and it has nothing to do with your buyer. It has everything to do with how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac see your HOA. In this episode, attorney Michael Kushner, a pioneer in homeowner-side HOA law in California, breaks down the "Unavailable" and "Not Eligible" flags that can quietly make an entire community impossible to finance, why almost no one sees it coming, and whether a flagged HOA can dig its way back out. What You'll Learn in this Episode: ✅ What it means when Fannie Mae flags your HOA as "Unavailable."✅ What it means when Freddie Mac flags your HOA as "Not Eligible."✅ Why your buyer's perfect credit cannot save the deal (unless they’re paying in cash).✅ What quietly drags down your value even if you’re not intending to sell.✅ Whether a flagged HOA can ever get itself unflagged. Whether you are selling now or just want to protect what your home is worth, this one matters, from an HOA attorney who represents homeowners, not boards. Helpful Links: “California Condo Declared “Unavailable” by Fannie Mae and How HOAs Can Fix the Problem”https://mbkchapman.com/california-condo-fannie-mae-unavailable-fact-sheet/ “Can My California HOA Ban Airbnb or Short-Term Rentals?”https://mbkchapman.com/california-hoa-ban-short-term-rentals-fact-sheet/ “Can My California HOA Stop Me from Renting Out My Home?”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npCDxP1_-jU&t=95s 🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
