Can you finance a condo at 1533 18th St?
With 5 residences, 1533 18th St is in the 2 to 10 unit range, so a conventional loan here may qualify for a project review waiver (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, since March 18, 2026). That holds as long as the building isn't flagged by Fannie Mae and the insurance meets the rules. Buildings of 5 to 10 units also can't be part of a master association, so ask whether 1533 18th St is.
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.
We'll follow up personally with what to ask the HOA at 1533 18th St for, and what we find once the documents arrive.
