California's Condo Financing Specialist
Jason Santos — The Condo Whisperer™ — Motto Mortgage Nexus
Just because the buyer is pre-approved doesn't mean the condo is.
Reserve issues, insurance problems, SB 326, deferred maintenance — condo project problems kill deals after escrow opens. Run the Clarity Check before they find you.
Because a pre-approval letter only means something if the lender can actually close the condo.
Condo financing is where most lenders tap out. It's where we specialize. Non-warrantable buildings, flagged projects, SB 326 complications — and deals currently in escrow that other lenders couldn't close. We've built the infrastructure specifically for deals like these.
For projects that qualify — competitive rates, fast process, no surprises.
When Fannie and Freddie say no, we have a path that often beats their pricing.
Buy-and-hold, short-term rental, portfolio — structured to maximize your returns.
Answer 10–12 questions. Get an instant read on whether a project is financeable — before it costs your deal.
This screening does not constitute a loan approval or commitment to lend. Licensed in CA & CO (residential) | DSCR Nationwide | Motto Mortgage Nexus
Submit a building address and I'll check it against Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's approved and unapproved project lists — before you waste time on a deal that can't close.
Available ≠ Closeable. A building can pass the agency lookup and still fail underwriting. Reserve studies, SB 326 reports, litigation, owner-occupancy ratios — the full Pre-Flight review catches issues before they derail your deal.
This is a preliminary review only and does not constitute a loan approval or commitment to lend.
They took what I thought was always out of reach and made it a reality with ease.
Other brokers were giving us the run around and pushing variable rate. Jason found us a great mortgage with a reasonable interest rate and walked us through everything so we could make an informed decision.
Jason went above and beyond to help us get our dream house!
Even during the most difficult times Jason was always well informed, calming and professional. He’s trustworthy, a valued asset and a very nice guy.
Five stars are not enough for Jason Santos. He has closed some of the toughest transactions that other lenders simply could not get across the finish line.
