Is it a residential condo or a hotel-style project?

Start with how the whole project operates, not the listing's use of “condo.” Ask for the project's legal name, governing documents, rental-management agreement, owner-use restrictions, insurance information and any current assessment or repair notice before relying on an individual unit's attractive payment.

  • Can the owner choose whether and when to occupy or rent the unit?
  • Is there mandatory rental pooling or management control over occupancy?
  • Does the project operate as a hotel, with hotel-style services or transient accommodations?
  • Which project documents has the proposed lender actually reviewed?

Fannie Mae's project rules distinguish residential condo eligibility from hotel or motel operations and certain ownership or rental restrictions. These are Fannie Mae delivery rules, not a statement that every investor program follows them or that an alternative is available. A lender must review the specific project and intended use.

Keep three answers separate: permission to use the unit as intended, acceptance of the project by the lender, and the rent evidence that lender can use. None is established by a nightly-rent projection. For rental evidence, continue to the short-term-rental review.

Local questions to settle before the offer

What should I review before financing an investment property in Myrtle Beach?

Use supportable rent, taxes, insurance, HOA dues, management, maintenance, vacancy, utilities paid by the owner, repairs, reserves, financing costs, and the exit plan.

Should conventional investor and DSCR financing be compared?

Yes when both may fit. Compare qualification, rate and points, down payment, reserves, documentation, prepayment terms, property eligibility, and exit strategy.

Can projected short-term-rental income be treated as guaranteed?

No. Market tools can support research, but lender-required rent evidence, appraisal analysis, property rules, and local operating restrictions still control.

What should I send Matt for an investor review?

Send the property, price, rent and source, complete expenses, down payment, reserves, renovation needs, occupancy strategy, timeline, and exit plan.
