Purchase, construct, renovate buildings including commercial condos and

25 year fully amortized (The first lien loan must be at least 10 year term).
Below prime. Fixed initially 7/10 years at 7/10 year US Treasury rate plus modest spread; then fixed for the remaining term at modest spread over US Treasury rate.
GNYDC's fees are based on our loan only, as follows:
Loan application fee: $1500
Loan commitment fee: 1-2% pf GNYDC loan, minus $1500
Legal Fee: $2250 - $5500
The first lien lender will determine its own interest rate, term and fees. There is no fee paid by the lender to GNYDC. GNYDC will make every effort not to duplicate documentation requirements.
GNYDC's New Market Loan Fund is designed to serve as a "takeout" permanent loan. When the project involves new construction or large-scale renovation, the other lender provides a temporary bridge loan. For straight real estate purchases, GNYDC can co-fund with the other lender and there is no need for interim financing.
