Can you finance a condo at 861 20th St?
861 20th St has 6 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 861 20th St 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.
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.
