DO ALL THE CONDO OWNERS HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON FHA APPROVAL DOCUMENTS BEFORE THE UNITS ARE MADE FHA READY?

NO, the other owners are not allowed to restrict how you sell your property, however the complex managers must sign to allow FHA.. and their CC&R's must conform to FHA standards to allow FHA financing.. This is usually the biggest hurdle.. if the CC&R's do not conform, then they must be rewritten to conform to FHA standards.. This usually entails hiring an attorney, and there are costs involved.. so the project manger might not allow it for that reason.. but regardless, the project has to be FHA approved to obtain FHA financing.. In fact, all conforming loan products require a "Condo Questionnaire", and depending on the responses on this document will determine whether or not it can be financed using conforming loan products..

No, not at all. The HOA has to be willing to go through the process and provide all the necessary documents required by FHA/HUD.
