RE Fannie Mae, FHA or VA approval process. Since the recesion, all of these approval processes have been revamped and are much more important for getting competive mortgages. At the least you want, and your construction lender my require, Fannie Mae Project Approval. You may also want to get FHA-HUD approvals that allow for reverse mortgages and lower downpayment loans. I have found it very helpful to work with National Condo Advisers to get these approvals. They have now worked with quite a few cohousing groups. They keep apprised of changes coming down the pipeline out of these agencies, and have their own in-house legal department to review and make sure your HOA documents conform. If you hit any issues with approvals, they have contacts to help get things sorted out. I have found them particularly helpful in talking with my construction lenders to assure them that you can get FNMA approval. They even attended the National Coho Conference in Durham!
