Fix & Flip Loans in New York, NY for Purchase + Rehab Financing

Purchase + Rehab. One Loan.

A fix and flip loan in New York funds purchase and renovation in one short-term, asset-based loan — hard money, underwritten on the deal and the after-repair value rather than your income. The New York specifics: Two-family rehabs in Ridgewood, Jamaica and East New York are the active segment. Leverage, rehab caps and experience rules vary more between lenders than any other criterion, which is why LendingStreet places the file across thirty capital sources instead of one.

What a New York flip actually involves

The stock is two- to four-family attached and semi-detached houses across Queens and Brooklyn, walk-up multifamily, and condo units. Two-family rehabs in Ridgewood, Jamaica and East New York are the active segment. Department of Buildings permitting timelines and certificate-of-occupancy issues are the schedule risk.

New York is judicial with one of the longest foreclosure timelines in the country, and rent stabilization covers a large share of multifamily stock — a stabilized unit is underwritten on the legal regulated rent, not market. Two- to four-family houses in Queens are typically not stabilized and are the most common DSCR product. New York City transfer and mortgage recording taxes are high enough to materially affect cash to close on both acquisition and refinance.

Where New York flips go wrong

If the property is occupied, New York's tenant rules govern how and when you can take possession to start work. Build the timeline around the law, not the contract date.

Scenarios we place in New York

Purchase plus rehab in one loan
Sized on total project cost and ARV, whichever binds — in Astoria and Jackson Heights the ARV cap usually governs; on two- to four-family attached and semi-detached houses across Queens and Brooklyn the cost side does. Rehab sits in a holdback and releases in draws after inspection; you carry the work between them.
First flip in New York
Several sources write first-timers at lower leverage with a licensed GC attached; several require completed projects. A first deal in Ridgewood or Astoria with a documented scope and a local GC is the profile that places most easily.
Small multifamily rehab
Two- to four-unit renovations size on total cost like a single-family, but the DSCR exit is stronger because rent stacks across units. Five-plus moves to commercial underwriting.
Hold instead of sell
Fix-to-rent lets you decide at completion. The DSCR takeout is a second underwrite on rent and appraised value — and in New York the tenant base around the full New York City economy is what makes that exit credible. Run it before you buy.

Program terms

Standard ranges across our capital sources: $150,000 to $5M+, up to 95% of total project cost, up to 100% of the rehab budget in draws, 6 to 18 months interest-only, 5 to 10 business days to close with 5-day expedited for experienced investors. Full detail and the current rate floor are on the fix and flip loan page. First-time flippers generally see lower leverage.

Who fits, what disqualifies, what to bring

Who fits
Investors buying a non-owner-occupied property anywhere in the New York City metro — New York, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Jamaica, Ridgewood and Long Island City — to renovate and resell or refinance, with the liquidity to carry work between draws.
What commonly disqualifies in New York
No line-item scope. No licensed GC on a first project. Liquidity that covers the down payment but not points, third-party costs and carry. An ARV the comparables cannot support.
What you will need
Contract, line-item budget by trade, GC bid and license, ARV comparables, proof of liquidity, entity documents.
What happens next
One application. We place the file against sources whose leverage, rehab cap and experience rule fit, and return terms with the draw schedule spelled out.

Frequently asked questions

How much cash do I need to flip in New York?

The gap between the loan and total project cost, plus points, third-party costs and the rehab you carry between draws. The ARV calculator returns it for your numbers.

Do you finance first-time flippers in New York?

Yes, through sources that write them — lower leverage, licensed GC attached.

The property is occupied. When can I start work?

When New York's tenant rules allow possession, not when the contract closes. Build the carry into the timeline.

How fast can it close?

5 to 10 business days on a complete file; 5-day expedited for experienced investors. A BPO in lieu of appraisal is available on bridge structures.

Can I refinance into a rental loan instead of selling in New York?

Yes — fix-to-rent. Separate underwrite on rent and appraised value. Run it before you buy.
