How this works in New York
Investment property 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
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 investment property in Schenectady.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Schenectady property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
