Your building has a project.
Your unit owners have questions.
The financing process should not be complex or intimidating.
CondoCapSM makes obtaining financing clear, organized and manageable.
CondoCapSM helps NYC condominium boards and managing agents through the entire process of bank financing with a clear, structured process, so boards and managing agents can stay in control of timing, documents and decisions.
You will hear from us quickly once a preliminary checklist is complete;
we will provide clear next steps and a timetable.
Access to a larger field of qualified lenders can provide your board with more financing alternatives, greater negotiating leverage, and better-informed decisions. Numerous regional and national banks have extensive experience financing HomeOwners Associations that have financial structures similar to NYC condominiums. CondoCapSM can introduce your condominium to qualified lenders outside New York City that may be interested in financing your building.
We help you gauge informal bank interest in a loan to your condominium; you may receive responses from banks in three to five business days from completion of an initial questionnaire.
CondoCapSM provides ample advance notice of required materials to avoid crunch time. We deliver loan analyses to help boards understand their options. We write loan information emails to unit owners, so you don't have to. We offer an optional administrative coordination fee for documented services—billed at fair market value and fully disclosed in writing.
Most NYC condominium declarations and bylaws require unit-owner approval before a Board of Managers can undertake a large loan. CondoCapSM understands unit-owner concerns and has developed letters and email communications that clearly and effectively address owner questions. If asked, we attend condominium general meetings.
