Can you finance a condo at 543 S Marengo Ave?
Our records show 7 residences at 543 S Marengo 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. At 7 units, it also can't be part of a master association for the waiver to apply.
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.
