Sarah is purchasing a co-op apartment in Manhattan for $850,000. Her lender explains the financing structure for cooperative apartments. What type of loan will Sarah receive for this purchase?

Correct Answer

A
A conventional mortgage secured by a deed of trust on the real property
B
An FHA loan with mortgage insurance premium
C
A share loan secured by the stock certificate and proprietary lease
D
A construction-to-permanent loan for cooperative development
