Queens is the most diverse place in America - co-ops in Jackson Heights, luxury condos rising over Long Island City, multi-family brownstones in Ridgewood, single-family blocks by the LIRR. It's a market Brian travels to often and genuinely loves. Different borough, same promise: the lender who actually answers.
A co-op in Jackson Heights underwrites nothing like a new condo in LIC, and a two-family in Ridgewood is its own animal entirely. Brian knows which program moves fastest in each - and where the deals actually get done. Find your neighborhood below.

Talk Rego Park with Brian →Queens isn't one market, and it isn't financed like one. A co-op, a condo, a two-family and a self-employed buyer each need a different playbook. Here's what Brian runs here every week.
Best for much of Queens' apartment stock
A co-op is shares in a corporation, so it needs a lender comfortable with co-op share loans and with the building's board and financials. Brian builds the board package and approval into the timeline from day one, so it doesn't blindside you later.

A condo is real property, so it underwrites more like a single-family home, with a project review of the building instead of a board. Newer LIC and Astoria buildings often fit here, and the right loan depends on the project's approval status.

On an owner-occupied two-to-four family, a portion of the market rent can typically count toward your income. The appraiser completes a rent schedule, and how much counts varies by program. It's one of the smartest ways to buy in Queens.

If your returns show enough, conventional works. If they don't, bank-statement programs can qualify you on your actual deposits instead. These are hand-quoted, because the fit depends on your full picture.

A DSCR loan can qualify on the rent the property brings in rather than your personal income, which keeps investor deals clean. It's a common tool for one-to-four unit rentals across Queens, quoted on the specific property.

Queens is full of buyers who don't fit a cookie-cutter file, and there are real programs for that, including ITIN options. These get quoted case by case, so the honest answer is that Brian looks at your specifics and finds the path that works.
See special situations →The path is mostly the same everywhere, with one Queens wrinkle most buyers don't see coming: the co-op board.
Before you tour anything, we set your real numbers. Start online or grab a quick call - often same day or next. A real pre-approval is what lets you move in a market that doesn't wait.
Co-op, condo and two-to-four family each finance differently, so we decide the program before you make an offer. Your offer gets built on financing that actually fits what you're buying.
Once you're in contract, the pre-approval becomes a full application. On a two-to-four family, this is where we build in the rent schedule so a portion of the rent can help you qualify.
The Queens step people underestimate. Co-ops require a board package and approval, and it takes real paperwork and time. Because we plan for it from the start, it's a checklist, not a fire drill.
The lender confirms value and, depending on the property, reviews the condo project or the co-op's financials. We line this up early so nothing stalls at the end.
Underwriting verifies the full file. Once you're cleared to close, we walk the final numbers together, you sign, and it's yours. No surprises at the table, because we handled them weeks earlier.
This isn't a lender parachuting in from upstate. Brian's in Queens often, loves the energy, and understands what makes financing here different - co-op boards, flip taxes, non-warrantable condos, two- to four-family math. When your agent needs a lender who gets it, that's the whole point.
