Can you finance a condo at 1229 California Ave?
Our records show 3 residences at 1229 California Ave. Since March 18, 2026, a conventional loan in a building of 2 to 10 units may qualify for a project review waiver from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as long as the building isn't flagged and its insurance meets the rules.
The 15% reserve test that starts January 4, 2027 belongs to the Full Review for buildings over 10 units, so a waived review isn't tested on it. Lenders can still add their own rules, and the waiver turns on the unit count, so confirm it with the HOA.
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.
