New York · Q3 2025

Why New York investors use PML

Banks underwrite borrowers. PML underwrites deals.

A conventional New York mortgage takes 30 to 45 days, asks for two years of W-2s, and reprices halfway through. None of that matches how a New York flip clears at auction or on the MLS. Hard money exists because investor deals close in days, not months — and because the asset itself, post-rehab, is the collateral that matters.

Speed in New York City

County trustee or court foreclosure calendars across New York clear on a posted schedule, and the OneKey MLS / REBNY RLS turns over the sharpest off-market inventory inside 48 hours. PML issues a binding term sheet within four business hours and wires a clean New York file in 48 hours. The faster you can credibly close, the deeper the discount you can negotiate on a Mott Haven acquisition or a New York City value-add.

Leverage on a $350K–$1.6M (NYC vs upstate) ARV

New York flips concentrate in the $350,000 to $1,600,000 depending on submarket ARV band — the cosmetic three-twos and full-gut projects that occupy Mott Haven, Ridgewood, Elmwood Village, North Buffalo. At 92.5% LTC and 100% rehab funding, a single experienced New York flipper can run four to six concurrent projects on the equity that a bank loan would tie up in one. The math on annual return on equity favors the leveraged operator on every realistic scenario.

Asset-based, not income-doc’d

PML underwrites the property’s as-repaired value, your Schedule of Values, and your sponsor track record. We do not need W-2s, New York state returns, or DTI calculations. That makes PML the right tool for self-employed New York operators, anyone running income through a New York LLC or S-corp, and any sponsor with a complex K-1 stack from prior closings.

How PML closes in New York

How PML closes in New York.
Five days from submission to wire.

The same five-step flow we run on every state, with three New York-specific lines. Submitted Monday on a clean file, wired by Friday.

  1. Submit the deal

    Drop in the New York property address, your Schedule of Values, and a draft purchase contract. No application fee and no soft credit pull at this stage.

    ~5 minutes
  2. Indicative terms

    A PML underwriter — not a salesperson — replies with a real New York rate, leverage, and a binding term sheet. Soft credit inquiry runs only after you accept.

    ~4 hours
  3. Title & appraisal

    Title routes through a licensed New York closing attorney in the subject county. New York does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans secured by 1 to 4 unit non-owner-occupied investment property held by an entity. New York City’s local lending rules are separate; the closing follows them. Subject-to-completion appraisal runs in parallel.

    ~2 days
  4. Closing docs

    New York closings happen at a licensed New York attorney’s office, not at a title company. The same in-house team that quoted the deal also issues the closing docs — no table-funding, no last-minute repricing, no fee changes between term sheet and HUD.

    ~1 day
  5. Wire & weekly draws

    Funds wire at close. The Bronx County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major New York metros (Buffalo, Rochester and Albany) run similarly fast on e-recording. PML wires loan proceeds the day of close; the lien recording happens in parallel. Weekly draws begin on receipt of the first paid invoices.

    Same day, then weekly

New York fix and flip FAQ

Ten questions, asked by New York flippers.

Specific to New York. For broader hard money questions — FICO floors, BRRRR strategy, the 70% rule, application flow — see the 70% rule explainer, the BRRRR mechanics breakdown, or the full FAQ.

Do you lend in New York?
Yes. PML funds fix and flip loans in all 50 states, with active flipper books in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany. Single-family, duplex, triplex, and fourplex properties. Loan size from $100,000 to $5,000,000 per asset, with cross-collateralized facility lines available for sponsors running three or more concurrent New York projects. No state-line carve-outs on pricing or leverage; a Bronx County flip prices off the same rate sheet as a Erie County flip.
Is PML licensed in New York?
New York does not require a separate state lender license for business-purpose loans secured by 1 to 4 unit non-owner-occupied investment property held by an entity. New York City’s local lending rules are separate; the closing follows them. PML originates New York fix and flip loans under that posture, with closings handled through the customary New York closing process. Loans are not consumer mortgages; they cannot be used for a primary or secondary residence. The borrower is always an LLC, LP, or corporation, never a natural person.
What is the typical New York loan size and ARV range?
The bulk of New York fix and flip activity in our book lands in a $350,000 to $1,600,000 depending on submarket ARV band, with loans typically between $280,000 and $1,250,000 on a single asset. New York City and Buffalo skew toward the lower half of that band on entry-level cosmetic flips; Brooklyn brownstones and Queens 2-4 unit stretch to $2,400,000 plus on full-gut projects. We will write a New York loan as small as $100,000 and as large as $5,000,000.
How does title and escrow work in New York?
New York is an attorney-closing state. A licensed New York real estate attorney handles the closing in coordination with a title insurance underwriter; no escrow agent in the western-state sense. PML works with closing-attorney panels in every major New York metro and routes the deed of trust and closing protection letter accordingly. A clean New York file regularly closes 6 to 9 business days from term-sheet acceptance.
What transfer tax or recording fees apply in New York?
New York imposes a state real estate transfer tax at $4 per $1,000 of consideration, with an additional mansion tax on residential transactions of $1M or more. New York City layers its own transfer tax (RPTT) on top. Recording fees and mortgage recording tax also apply on the deed of trust. PML’s quote on the HUD reflects the actual New York tax and recording schedule for the subject county; there are no lender markups on third-party closing costs.
Does New York weather or seasonality affect rehab draws?
Northern New York winters slow exterior trade work (roofing, siding, concrete) from late November through March, but they do not slow our draw cadence. Inspector clears within one business day, wire goes out within 48 hours, year-round. Plan rehab budgets with a 2 to 4 week seasonal cushion on cold-weather exterior scopes.
How long does foreclosure take in New York if the loan defaults?
New York is a judicial foreclosure state. A defaulted business-purpose loan moves through the courts in often 18 to 30 months in NYC from filed complaint to sheriff's or commissioner's sale — materially longer than non-judicial states like Texas or Arizona. As a sponsor this should never matter; as an underwriting input it is reflected in our New York risk pricing.
How quickly does Bronx County record a New York deed?
The Bronx County e-recording system normally posts a deed and deed of trust the same business day they are submitted. Other major New York metros (Buffalo, Rochester and Albany) run similarly fast on e-recording. PML wires loan proceeds the day of close; the lien recording happens in parallel.
Do you fund foreclosure or auction purchases in New York?
Yes. New York foreclosure sales are court-ordered judicial sales conducted by the county sheriff or court-appointed commissioner, with the sale date set by the court after entry of the foreclosure judgment. PML can fund acquisitions from courthouse-step foreclosure sales when title is clean and judgment is final, with a binding term sheet inside four business hours. Plan additional time for confirmation-of-sale where the New York courts require it.
Can I close into a New York LLC formed after the property goes under contract?
Yes. PML can close into a newly-formed New York LLC even if you took the property under contract in your personal name. The closing party handles the deed transfer at closing — the property moves from your personal name into the new entity simultaneous with the loan funding, with the standard New York transfer-tax treatment applied at close. We do not lend to natural persons; the borrower is always an entity. We can help structure the entity if you do not yet have one in place.
