Condo Project Advisor FAQ

It’s a Freddie Mac risk assessment tool that provides feedback on a condominium project’s compliance with certain project review requirements. Its features can help you save time and money by simplifying your project underwriting process. Key features include Project Assessment Request (PAR), Project Waiver Request (PWR) and Project Certified Submission (PCS).

It also allows authorized Sellers, through PARs or PCSs, to obtain feedback (PAR findings) about a condo project’s compliance with the project review requirements assessed by Condo Project Advisor.

Through Project Assessment Lookup (PAL), authorized third-party originators (TPOs) can obtain feedback (PAL findings) about a condo project’s compliance with the project review requirements assessed by Condo Project Advisor.

The PWR is a workflow-based capability which allows authorized Sellers to request and track unit-level condo project eligibility waivers for condo projects that need special consideration. Sellers enter required data elements and upload necessary documentation for each new requested waiver submission. Each PWR is assessed, and if approved, that determination is provided in the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate. 

The PAR allows Sellers to enter a condo project’s name and address to obtain feedback (PAR findings) about that project’s compliance with the project review requirements assessed by Condo Project Advisor.

The PAL allows authorized third-party originators (TPOs) to enter a condo project’s name and address to obtain feedback (PAL findings) about that project’s compliance with the project review requirements assessed by Condo Project Advisor.

The PCS is a workflow-based capability which allows authorized Sellers to submit condo projects for a Project Certified review when specified on certain PAR findings. Sellers enter the required data elements and upload the required minimum documentation for each PCS request. If Condo Project Advisor finds that the condo project complies with the requirements for Project Certified, the condo project will be assigned a Project Certified status.

Freddie Mac will not exercise its remedies, including the issuance of repurchase requests, in connection with a breach of the Seller’s selling representations and warranties related to:

• For a mortgage with an approved PWR, the project review and eligibility requirements identified on the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate; and
• For a mortgage with a PAR finding (including projects granted a Project Certified status through the PCS process), the project review requirement(s) assessed if Condo Project Advisor found that the project complied with the requirement(s) and the PAR findings are detailed on the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate.

See Sections 5701.10 and 5701.11 on PAR and PWR for full details.

No. For PWRs, a waiver exception is for a specific mortgage secured by a condominium unit within an established condo project. For PARs and PALs, Condo Project Advisor focuses on certain project review requirements. So, a PAR or PAL finding only covers a project’s compliance with the project review requirements that the tool assesses. Additionally, the PAR finding is applicable only to the mortgage identified on the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate. It isn’t transferrable to other mortgages secured by units in the same project. A Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate isn’t issued with PAL findings.

Refer to Q2 under the Green and Yellow PAR Status subhead for a list of requirements Condo Project Advisor does not assess for streamlined review and established condo projects review types and Q2 under the Project Certified PAR Status for requirements for which Sellers remain responsible for condo projects with a Project Certified status.

When Condo Project Advisor assigns a Yellow status to the project, the condo project doesn’t comply with one or more of the requirements assessed by Condo Project Advisor. The PAR findings will include feedback that identifies those requirements, and the Seller must ensure compliance with them. Since the loan must be secured by a condo unit in an established condo project, if one of the identified requirements is that the project may not be an established condo project, the Seller must first determine that the project meets the Glossary definition of an Established Condominium Project in the Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide.

However, if the project receives a Not Eligible for critical repair or a Project Certified status PAR finding, it indicates that we assessed compliance with our critical repairs requirements.

If the project receives a feedback message indicating that the project may need critical repairs, it indicates that we didn’t determine compliance with our critical repairs requirements. This is only a notice that the project may need critical repairs.

Question: Is there any way a mortgage secured by a unit in a project that has been assigned a Not Eligible status can be sold to Freddie Mac (e.g., pursuant to reciprocal review (Section 5701.9), Exempt From Review (Section 5701.7), under a negotiated term of business or otherwise)?

Answer: There are no exceptions. There is no other way to sell to Freddie Mac a mortgage secured by a unit in a project that has been assigned a Not Eligible status. See Section 5701.10(d)(i).

Guide reference: Section 5701.10(d)

Date: July 2, 2025

The Not Eligible status is a Condo Project Advisor PAR finding (see Section 5701.10 for details) for a particular project. Our condo project status classifications in Condo Project Advisor are dynamic based on the underlying eligibility drivers which provides immediate, transparent and actionable feedback to lenders. Freddie Mac does not maintain a commercially available list of ineligible condo projects and does not ask lenders to refer to any other static list of projects. ”We won’t provide the number of projects or a list of projects with any PAR finding status (e.g., Green, Yellow), including the Not Eligible status PAR finding.

Guide reference: N/A

Date: July 2, 2025

Messages related to the project’s Not Eligible status will be returned in Condo Project Advisor, LPA, Loan Quality Advisor and Loan Selling Advisor. For information on feedback messages, see the following:

In this instance, Seller may submit for the subject project’s PAR finding in Condo Project Advisor directly. If messaging in Condo Project Advisor also indicates it is unavailable, Seller may resubmit in Condo Project Advisor, Loan Selling Advisor or Loan Quality Advisor at a later time.

Seller should ensure the subject unit’s street name and  code match in Condo Project Advisor, Loan Selling Advisor and/or Loan Quality Advisor.

Mortgages secured by a condo unit in a condo project with a Not Eligible status are ineligible for sale to Freddie Mac, even if the first time the Seller receives a message regarding the project’s Not Eligible status and the mortgage’s ineligibility for sale is in Loan Selling Advisor. There are no exceptions. See Section 5701.10(d)(i).

Guide reference: Section 5701.10(d)

Date: July 2, 2025

Yes. Loan Selling Advisor will stop the delivery of a mortgage secured by a unit in a condo project with a Not Eligible status. Sellers will receive a message in Loan Selling Advisor stating either:

(i) The mortgage is secured by a unit in a condo project that has a PAR finding of Not Eligible in Condo Project Advisor and is ineligible for sale to Freddie Mac, or

(ii) The Not Eligible status of a condo project can’t be validated, and the mortgage must be reassessed at a later time. Note: Even though this message doesn’t stop the delivery of this mortgage, the mortgage isn’t eligible for sale to Freddie Mac.

No. SRC submissions are optional.

Although there will be an LPA feedback message when a project is eligible for an SRC submission, the SRC submission can be made only in Condo Project Advisor^®.

No. We recommend that you upload the documentation related to the SRC submission. No specific type of documentation is required.

At this time, only Sellers with authorized access to CPA^SM can submit an SRC.

If the SRC submitter has the same Seller ID as you, you will be able to review the questions and answers for the submission or any resubmissions in CPA, not LPA.

No. CPA PAR is for established condominium projects only. So, this PAR enhancement, the SRC, is also only for established projects.

Sellers should double-check the data entered into CPA to see if numbers were transposed, data was omitted, etc. If the data was entered correctly, Sellers are encouraged to submit a Project Waiver Request (PWR) if the noncompliant project characteristic is an eligible PWR category. Also, if the project is eligible for a Project Certified Submission (PCS), Sellers are encouraged to submit a PCS. If a PWR or a PCS are not available for the project, or the PWR or PCS is denied, the mortgage isn’t saleable to Freddie Mac.

Question: I submitted an SRC and got a Seller Certified status. Does this mean Freddie Mac will not exercise its remedies, including the issuance of repurchase requests, in connection with a breach of Seller representations and warranties related to the project review requirements for which I submitted data in CPA? 

Answer: No. You continue to be responsible for your organization’s representations and warranties related to the project review requirements you assessed and the data you entered in CPA from your assessment.

No. A project can be eligible for an SRC submission if the project has a Green status PAR finding; a Yellow status PAR finding or an Incomplete Assessment status PAR finding.

At the time the SRC was submitted, the submitter provided data based on the project’s Pre-SRC PAR Status finding of Yellow. The feedback message informs Seller that the Pre-SRC PAR Status finding at the time of SRC submission was Yellow status. Seller is responsible for its representations and warranties related to the project review requirements Seller assessed and the data Seller entered in CPA from its assessment.

No. A Mortgage secured by a unit in a project with a Not Eligible status PAR finding cannot be sold to Freddie Mac.

No. Only authorized CPA and LPA users with the same Seller ID as the SRC submitter can see the Seller Certified status. Only authorized CPA users with the same Seller ID can see the Non-Seller Certified submission status.

If the condo project referenced in feedback message FPA0197 isn’t the project for the subject unit and the project wasn’t found in Condo Project Advisor, then the Seller must ensure compliance with the project review requirements in Section 5701.2(a) and the general eligibility requirements in Section 5701.2(b).

Guide reference: N/A

Date: July 2, 2025

Yes. If the condo project referenced on the CPA Feedback Certificate is the subject project, then Seller may sell the mortgage to Freddie Mac, even if the project is not found in LPA, as long as all requirements of Chapter 5701 and Seller's Purchase Documents have been met.
