FAQ
Cohoes no-bank purchase questions.
- What's a no-bank home?
- Any home sold on terms that don't require a conventional mortgage — owner financing, lease-option, contract for deed, or wraparound.
- Is this legal in New York?
- Yes. New York allows seller financing under federal Dodd-Frank rules; a licensed loan officer (RMLO) is often used to keep the note compliant.
- Do I get title at closing?
- On a true owner-finance deed of trust, yes. On a land contract or contract for deed, title transfers when the contract is paid in full.
- Can I still get insurance?
- Standard homeowner insurance applies. The seller usually requires you to list them as mortgagee, same as any lender.

No-bank purchase in New York: the local rules.
Timeline & foreclosure
New York foreclosures are the slowest in the country — often 2.5–3 years. That's huge runway. You almost always have time to take a real offer instead of being forced into a sale. We can close in 14–21 days.
New York is a judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
New York requires a NY-licensed attorney at every closing. You hire your own; budget for the fee in your net.
Local demand
Owner-financed and lease-option inventory in New York is most concentrated in the same metros that drive cash demand. NYC outer-borough and Long Island distressed sales are very competitive. Upstate (Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse) trades at much lower price points but still sees steady cash-buyer demand year-round.

Glossary
Key terms for no-bank purchase in Cohoes.
- Promissory note
- The IOU between you and the Cohoes seller. Spells out the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and what happens if you miss a payment.
- Deed of trust / mortgage
- The lien recorded against the property that secures the promissory note. In New York, most owner-finance deals use the same instrument banks use, so you actually own the home at closing.
- Balloon payment
- A lump sum owed at the end of a shorter term (commonly 3–7 years). Most owner-finance buyers refinance into a conventional loan before the balloon hits.
- Option fee (rent-to-own)
- Non-refundable up-front payment that locks in your right to buy at a set price later. Typically 1–5% of purchase price and credited toward the purchase if you exercise.
