Can you finance a condo at 688 Bienveneda Ave?
688 Bienveneda Ave 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. At 5 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.
Because 688 Bienveneda Ave dates to 1975, ask the HOA whether the building is subject to LA's non-ductile concrete retrofit program. If it is, an open retrofit order may matter to lenders, who can treat it as a critical repair. Retrofit rules in LA, explained.
If 688 Bienveneda Ave 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.
