Fannie Mae Condo Blacklist!

What Every RI Condo Needs to Know to Stay Off the List

 

Edmund Allcock, Esq., CCAL

Allcock & Marcus, LLC

 

 

 

 

According to an investigative piece by the Orange County (Florida) Register, Fannie Mae is keeping a secret “blacklist” of condominiums which the federal agency has decreed that lenders should stay away from.  Fannie Mae changed its criteria in response to the collapse of the Surfside Condominium in 2021 and lender questionnaires on condominium sales now commonly inquire into structural aspects, health and reserve requirements of condominiums.  The “blacklist” is comprised of those properties that allegedly haven’t kept up with maintenance, have potential structural issues, are not on firm financial footing or have inadequate insurance among other things.  Find out how to keep your community off the “blacklist” and maintain property values and future sales.  And Learn what’s being done to make the list public.


9:45 AM - 10:45 AM

Capital Projects

Roles & Responsibilities, Trends & Updates

For volunteer boards and managers, large capital projects can be overwhelming and challenging.  Understanding the construction issues as well as the role and responsibility of all the individuals involved can be daunting.  Find out how and when the services of a professional engineer can streamline the process.  Understand the role of the engineer, the manager and the board and review important contract details.  In addition, the program will discuss trending building concerns of RI communities and how to address them, as well as important national updates to reserve study standards.
