Can you finance a condo at 1943 12th?
With 4 residences, 1943 12th 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.
The 15% reserve test arriving January 4, 2027 is part of the Full Review, which a building this size may not need. Lenders can add their own requirements, and the unit count decides the path, so confirm it with the HOA.
If 1943 12th has wood-supported balconies, decks or stairs that the HOA maintains, California's SB 326 calls for a licensed inspection of them, and since January 1, 2026 the latest report is part of the resale package. A failed or unaddressed report may hold up a conventional loan until repairs are made or funded. SB 326, explained.
Conventional loans go up to $1,249,125 in LA County in 2026. Above that, a jumbo lender applies its own condo rules, and a non-QM loan, built for buildings or buyers outside agency rules, typically means more down and a higher rate.
