On Oct. 26, 2016, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, under the new provisions, FHA approved condominium projects require at least 50% of the units to be owner-occupied, but will allow for the owner-occupancy requirement to be lowered down to 35% if:

  • The project has replacement reserves of at least 20% of the budget,
  • No more than 10% of the units are in arrears (more than 60 days past due), and
  • The condo has three years of acceptable financial documents.
