Condo & Townhome Financing in Collierville, TN

Condo & Townhome investing in Collierville

Condos and townhomes are the lowest-basis way into the Collierville rental market, and the trade is that a second set of underwriting rules applies to the building, not just to you. Every DSCR condo file in Tennessee runs a project review: owner-occupancy ratio, investor concentration, HOA delinquency rate, reserve funding, and any pending litigation or special assessment.

At the Collierville median of $570,000, a condo or townhome prices near $410,400, roughly a quarter under the detached median. Minimum down is 20% ($82,080), leaving a loan of $328,320. Estimated all-in PITIA runs about $3,032 per month, and that figure already carries an HOA allowance of $340/month — HOA dues count in the DSCR denominator, which is exactly why condo files that look cheap on price often ratio worse than a detached comp.
