Why It’s Flagged
Fannie Mae Selling Guide B4-2.1-03, Freddie Mac Guide Ch. 5701, & 24 C.F.R. § 203.43b (FHA / Agency Lending Guidelines)
Under federal HUD/FHA regulations (24 C.F.R. §§ 203.41, 203.43b), VA regulations (38 C.F.R. § 36.4354), and Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac project eligibility standards, any Right of First Refusal in the governing documents renders the entire community non-warrantable for federal and conventional secondary-market mortgages unless it expressly exempts foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, and mortgagee transfers, and complies with anti-discrimination mandates.
