Can you finance a condo at 1209 Amherst Ave?
The unit count at 1209 Amherst Ave isn't confirmed in our records. It decides which review a conventional loan gets, so ask the HOA or the listing agent for it first.
2 to 10 units: since March 18, 2026, a conventional loan may qualify for a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac project review waiver, provided the building isn't flagged and its insurance meets the rules. A 5 to 10 unit building also can't be part of a master association.
11 or more units: a Full Review of the HOA's finances is required (since August 3, 2026). From January 4, 2027, that review tests whether the budget puts at least 15% of dues into reserves, or funds the reserve study's top recommendation.
Which loan you use changes the rules. Conventional loans run to $1,249,125 in LA County in 2026, jumbo lenders above that apply their own condo rules, and non-QM loans typically mean more down and a higher rate.
