My home is currently being changed from a condo to a single family attached villa. Do I need to wait for the process to complete before I my loan officer takes my application? I expect final approval from the county in the next couple weeks.

In short, it is best to wait until the change is complete. We will need to order a case assignment and when doing so, we will need accurate property details. If the application is taken now, the condo will be listed on case number and thus we would need the condo to be approved by HUD. If you wait, you will no longer need the condo to be approved through HUD, which will ultimately save you time and some headache.
