Can I see the apartments for Sale without being Pre-approved?
No. The owners want to make sure that you are a real buyer. Also for security of the residents they don’t want people just “snooping around” the facilities or inside the apartments.
What does it means to get pre-approved?
It means that you a bank or financial institution will lend you the money for a mortgage. The amount they will lend you depends of your income and/or debt. Your mortgage advisor will let you more about the banks reach a number.
What does it means that Sole is Approved for a 3% Down?
Financing the purchase of a condo is different than purchasing a regular single family home. Many lenders do not finance condos and others require that you put 20%-25% down payment. The reason for this is that your condo ownership is dependent on the other owners in the building. They also examine the condo building and the Home Owner Association. Most of the condos in downtown Ft Lauderdale require 20% or more for down payment. A couple of new one require a 10% down.
Now and thanks to our mortgage partners, we have obtain the approval for a 97% financing.
