Experience Across New York Investment Real Estate
New York investment properties can require financing that does not fit neatly into conventional mortgage guidelines. Investors may be purchasing an undervalued property, repositioning an existing asset, acquiring commercial real estate, refinancing an investment, or building a new property. The appropriate financing structure depends on the property and the investor's specific transaction.
Our New York lending programs are designed around these investment scenarios, including fix and flip financing, bridge loans, asset-based hard money loans, commercial real estate financing, DSCR rental loans, and ground-up construction financing.
That experience extends from major New York markets such as New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, Long Island, Nassau County, Suffolk County, and Westchester to markets throughout the rest of the state.
Strong Long Island Market Focus
Our New York search visibility and lending coverage includes highly active Long Island markets such as Oyster Bay, Suffolk County, Nassau County, Patchogue, Babylon, Commack, Smithtown, and surrounding communities. Investors in these markets can access financing for qualifying investment properties based on the specific transaction and property.

Fix and flip financing is designed for investors who need capital to move quickly from contract to closing and through the renovation phase.
New York DSCR Rental Loans
DSCR financing is designed for investors purchasing or refinancing qualifying 1–4 unit rental properties. Qualification focuses on the property's rental cash flow rather than traditional personal income documentation, making the program useful for investors building or scaling rental portfolios.
New York Spec Home Construction Loans
Experienced builders and developers can use ground-up construction financing to fund qualifying residential spec projects. Loans are structured around the lot, construction budget, projected value, borrower experience, and required draw schedule.
New York Commercial Hard Money Loans

New York 5+ Unit Multifamily & Mixed-Use Loans
Financing for qualifying 5+ unit apartment buildings, multifamily properties, and mixed-use investment properties throughout New York. This program is designed for investors purchasing, refinancing, or repositioning larger residential and mixed-use assets that fall outside traditional 1–4 unit residential financing.

Investors with substantial equity in qualifying real estate may have an alternative to traditional credit-driven financing. Asset-based loans focus primarily on collateral value and equity position and can be used for qualifying residential and commercial investment properties.
Proof of Funds for New York Investors
When a purchase contract requires verification of available financing, investors may need a professional proof of funds letter to demonstrate lending capacity. This can help strengthen an offer and provide sellers with greater confidence that financing is available.

DSCR Loans New York for Rental Property Investors
DSCR loans New York provide long-term financing for real estate investors purchasing or refinancing qualifying 1–4 unit rental properties throughout New York, including Long Island, Brooklyn, Queens, and other major investment markets. Instead of requiring traditional employment income documentation, the program evaluates the property's rental cash flow along with the borrower's credit profile.
Property Cash-Flow Qualification
DSCR financing is designed around the income-producing property. Qualification considers the property's rental income and debt-service obligations rather than relying solely on the investor's personal employment income.
Typical minimum DSCR: 1.05
No Traditional Income Documentation
For qualifying transactions, investors can obtain long-term rental financing without relying on traditional W-2 income documentation or personal tax-return income calculations. The property and borrower still must satisfy program underwriting requirements.
Investor-focused underwriting
30-Year Rental Financing
DSCR loans provide a long-term financing strategy for investors who want to hold rental properties rather than continually refinance short-term investment loans.
Long-term buy-and-hold strategy
New York DSCR Loan Requirements
Additional underwriting requirements apply. Property eligibility, loan-to-value, reserves, seasoning, occupancy, and other terms depend on the specific transaction.
DSCR Loans Long Island NY

The program may be suitable for qualifying rental properties in markets including Oyster Bay, Babylon, Commack, Smithtown, Patchogue, Huntington, Islip, and surrounding Long Island communities.
NYC Rental Investment Properties
DSCR financing can also be used for qualifying 1–4 unit investment properties in New York City markets, including Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, subject to property and program guidelines.
Investors should distinguish this program from financing for 5+ unit apartment buildings and mixed-use properties, which may fall under separate commercial or multifamily lending programs.

The Loan Program Matters

Choosing the appropriate program allows the financing structure to match the property type, investment strategy, capital requirements, and intended exit.
