If you are purchasing a Non-Warrantable condo, you should expect to have a higher interest rate. Many lenders consider these condos to be more risky, and thus increase the interest rate accordingly.

Depending on the loan program you select, be prepared to have a down payment on the home. Some lenders will not offer 100% financing on non-warrantable condos.
