Well put. Condos are usually much more challenging to get approval than Townhouses

The term condominium is a form of ownership, the term townhouse is a style of construction. You may be looking at a "townhouse" only to find the zoning is condominium, especially in Florida. If you find a townhouse design that has a legal description of an attached SFR, Fee Simple, then you will not have any financing issues other then the usual qualifying guidelines for credit, down payment, etc. Ask for the legal description when you find something you like, if it has the word condominium in the description then know financing may be much more limited depending on the details of the project.



Mortgage for town home or condo?
Thank you and best regards
