Can you finance a condo at Castlegate?
At 48 residences, Castlegate gets a Full Review of the HOA's finances for any conventional loan (required for buildings over 10 units since August 3, 2026). For loan applications dated January 4, 2027 or later, the review tests whether the budget puts at least 15% of dues into reserves, or funds the reserve study's top recommendation. Expect the lender to ask for the HOA questionnaire, budget, reserve study and insurance; applications dated before January 4, 2027 are reviewed at 10%.
Because Castlegate dates to 1974, ask the HOA whether the building has an open seismic retrofit order. If it does, lenders may treat an unfunded retrofit as a critical repair. Retrofit rules in LA, explained.
SB 326 calls for a licensed inspection of wood-supported balconies, decks and stairs in buildings with 3 or more attached units. If Castlegate has them, the latest report has been part of the resale package since January 1, 2026, and a failed report may matter to a lender. SB 326, explained.
Which loan you use changes the rules. Conventional loans run to $1,249,125 in LA County in 2026, jumbo lenders above that apply their own condo rules, and non-QM loans typically mean more down and a higher rate.
