Can you finance a condo at 938 2nd St?
938 2nd St 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. At 8 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.
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.
