New York is one of the most demanding investor markets in the country. Rent regulation, the longest foreclosure timelines in the nation, and some of the highest property taxes anywhere make DSCR loans here a structuring exercise, not a rate quote.Brick City Capital provides DSCR loans in New York for brokers and investor clients where the structure of the deal, not borrower credit, is the real obstacle. We underwrite to how the asset actually performs under New York's rules.

Across New York City and its boroughs, Westchester, Long Island, and the upstate markets of Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany, investor demand runs deep. But New York's rent regulation, court-driven foreclosure process, and tax load introduce structural realities that materially affect underwriting:
Rent-stabilized units cap how fast income can grow and limit deregulation, so regulated buildings underwrite on capped rents rather than market rents.
A judicial foreclosure process among the longest in the nation, which stretches recovery timelines and shapes risk modeling.
Among the highest property taxes in the nation, especially across Westchester and Long Island, compressing DSCR ratios.
Appraisal variability across boroughs, mixed-use buildings, and submarkets with limited comparable sales.
High investor concentration in individual buildings and rental-heavy corridors, where ownership ratios push deals outside conventional limits.
New construction and repositioned assets without a stabilized rental track record.
In this environment, qualification is rarely about income alone. It’s about how the deal is structured around tax exposure, concentration limits, and timeline risk.
New York rewards underwriting discipline before pricing is ever discussed.

In New York, structure determines execution. And execution protects broker credibility.
