Frequently Asked Questions from Long Island City Rental Property Owners
What is a rental loan and why is it ideal for Long Island City?
Rental loans, particularly DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans, are designed specifically for real estate investors. Instead of focusing heavily on a borrower's personal income, they primarily assess the property's ability to generate enough rental income to cover its mortgage payments. This makes them ideal for Long Island City investors looking to grow their portfolios, secure cash-flowing assets, or refinance existing properties without the strict personal income requirements of conventional banks.
How fast can I get funded for a rental property in Long Island City?
We pride ourselves on efficiency. For qualified Long Island City rental properties, we can often fund loans in as little as 7-10 business days, with most loans closing within 14 business days. Our process is designed to be quicker than traditional banks, helping you seize opportunities in LIC's fast-moving rental market.
What types of rental properties do you lend on in LIC?
We lend on a wide range of residential investment properties across Long Island City, focusing on those with strong rental income potential. This includes single-family homes (1-4 units), small multi-family apartment buildings (up to 20 units), investment condos, and qualifying co-op units. Our focus is on the property's cash flow and investment viability.
Do you require an appraisal for Long Island City rental properties?
Yes, for rental loans, a full appraisal is typically required to accurately assess the property's market value and ensure a sound investment. We work with a network of experienced, local appraisers familiar with the Long Island City market to ensure timely valuations that support our expedited closing process, rather than cause delays.
