Can you finance a condo at 1629 Franklin?
1629 Franklin has 5 residences, per our records. That's small enough that a conventional loan may qualify for a Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac project review waiver, open to 2 to 10 unit buildings since March 18, 2026, as long as the building isn't flagged and the insurance meets the rules. Buildings of 5 to 10 units also can't be part of a master association, so ask whether 1629 Franklin 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.
SB 326 calls for a licensed inspection of wood-supported balconies, decks and stairs in buildings with 3 or more attached units. If 1629 Franklin has them, the latest report has been part of the resale package since January 1, 2026, and a failed report may matter to a lender. SB 326, explained.
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.
