warrantable

Can be justified

Warrantable means able to be justified or defended: The expense seemed warrantable given the circumstances.

In mortgage lending, a warrantable condo meets criteria that allow it to be sold to government-sponsored enterprises—proper insurance, sufficient owner-occupancy, adequate reserves.

A non-warrantable property requires alternative financing.
