    Five specific red flags kill HOA loan applications, and they show up in the same order almost every time. Delinquency over 10 percent, reserves under 20 percent funded, active litigation, recent board turnover, and unaudited financials over two years old. Each has a threshold, and each has a fix. Written by Larry Kirschner, who has spent 30+ years in commercial banking and 20+ years serving on HOA boards, from watching HOA loan files get declined for reasons boards could have solved 90 days earlier.

This post walks through what actually happens inside credit committee, the five document sets that matter most, the three ratios that decide the deal, and the recurring reasons associations get declined. Written from watching HOA loan files move through underwriting at community banks, regional lenders, and HOA-specialized shops.
