Co-op Loans in NYC: Financing Options You Didn’t Know You Had

May 28, 2026

Our specialty is one thing: Co-op financing. And if you’ve ever tried to finance a co-op in New York City, you already know, it’s not the same as financing real estate.

We Know Co-ops

Co-op transactions come with strict building requirements, board approvals, and unique underwriting guidelines. This isn’t a space for general lenders. It requires specialized knowledge and experience. With our dedicated Co-op Project Approval Team, we help borrowers and professionals determine whether the co-op in question has been approved or is already on our list.

Co-op Loan Options

Agency Co-op Loans

  • Fannie Mae Fixed & ARM programs
  • Freddie Mac Fixed & ARM programs

Including:

  • HomeReady®
  • Home Possible®
  • Refi Possible®
  • RefiNow™

These programs allow qualified borrowers to access competitive rates and terms when purchasing or refinancing co-ops.

Non-QM Co-op Loans

We offer Non-QM co-op loan solutions.

  • Alternative income qualification (where applicable)
  • All non-QM loan programs available for co-ops
  • Solutions for self-employed clients

And most importantly: Financing for Investment Co-ops, Many lenders won’t touch this. We do.

Beyond NYC

While co-ops are most common in New York, our programs extend beyond just one market. We currently offer co-op financing in these states. With additional states being added.

  • New York
  • New Jersey
  • Florida
  • California
  • Connecticut
  • Illinois
  • Maryland
  • Washington, DC

Unlike condos or single-family homes, co-ops involve ownership in a corporation, building-level financial review, and strict lending criteria. This is what we do every day.

Let’s structure your co-op loan the right way.
