Last night, over 560 homeowners and board members joined us live for Ready for 2026 — The New Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Condo Rules. The webinar was primarily for our CA HOAs, but it included a few tidbits our Texans should know about new lending requirements.
I'm still a little speechless about it. 🙏
When we started planning this webinar, we knew the regulatory changes coming between July 2026 and January 2027 were going to be one of the most disruptive shifts the HOA industry has seen in over a decade. We had no idea the response would be this big.
Our five experts absolutely showed up:
🏦 Arshia Mashayekhi — Cornerstone Home Lending
🛡️ Mary Lock — Trucordia, formerly Broadmoor Agency Insurance Brokers
💰 Una Hart — Association Reserves
⚖️ Lisa Tashjian, Esq., CCAL — Beaumont Tashjian
📊 Alyson Millon, CMCA, AMS — COO, Comuneo Services Inc
We covered:
✅ The new Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac condo financing rules — affecting every California and Texas community
✅ The $50,000 master-policy deductible cap and what it means for unit owners
✅ Why reserves are jumping from 10% to 15% — and how boards can prepare
✅ California Senate Bill 1007, affecting CA only and currently at the Capitol in Sacramento, and what it would mean for the assessment authority of boards.
✅ The legal duties boards have, even when the rules of the road keep shifting
If you live in an HOA, own a unit, sit on a board, or work with anyone who does — this is for you. Whether you're in California or Texas, these new lending regulations with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will affect your community.
