I see. So I should lower my down payment to where my loan balance is high enough to be able to get a lender, but my new mortgage needs to be low enough so the loan is not contingent on the sale/rent of my condo. I can keep the remainder of saved up cash working in mutual funds and I can use it to make mortgage payments later. Thanks for the answers, very helpful.

PA is what's called a High Cost Closing State. This means the closing costs can't exceed a certain percentage of the loan amount. This makes doing small loans impossible for most lenders.
