Can you finance a condo at 697 E California Blvd?
697 E California Blvd has 8 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 697 E California Blvd 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.
In LA County, conventional loans reach $1,249,125 in 2026. Jumbo loans above that follow the lender's own condo rules, and non-QM loans work outside agency rules, typically with more down and a higher rate.
