For HARP refinance, is there a lender out there that can overlook HOA delinquency rates higher than 20%?

That's a tough one.. There's a lot more info necessary to answer your question, but in general, if a HOA has a high delinquency rate, then that's a HUGE red flag... it's this very reason why Fannie Mae requires a condo cert/questioner.. I'm not sure if there is a go around on this issue.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

As I mentioned in my answer yesterday, we can do that kind of HARP loan, beginning next week. We have brought the process in house, so we don't have to deal with the lender overlays that would otherwise create problems for such a situation. Contact me, and we can get the process started for you.

Are you talking about HOA for a Condo association, or a regular home in a subdivision?

William summed up very well. This raises a huge red flag. Would need to know more about the situation to give a good answer. I do loans in WA, call me at 951-294-8392.

That is going to be very hard to find, there are very strong rules in place for such delinquencies.

Hello,We just received new information on our internal HARP programs today, that will take effect early next week. Under these conditions, it appears that we would be able to assist in this process next week. Please contact me on Tuesday, April 2 -- by email response to this, or by calling me at 253-874-1111 at our Federal Way office. Thank you,Steven CookMLO #293441
Thanks for all the information. It is an unfortunate situation where borrowers with good history find their hands tied because of circumstances out of their control. The property is a condo in a complex with ~ 180 units. It is in Washington State. The condo conversion happened around 2006 and that's why so many of the owners went into red quickly when the prices started dropping soon after the conversion and that caused in turn the disproportionate foreclosures and delinquencies. Otherwise, the units are in a good area and in good condition. Our HOA is solvent, but this situation with lenders not lending definitely is not helping the situation (for neither the current lenders nor the owners). Is condo certification required by HARP? I thought HARP didn't have such requirements but banks did. Please let me know what specific information is needed if you think you could help. Thank you!
