   COOP FINANCING !

• WHAT is a CO-OP unit?  A co-op financing mortgage often refers specifically to a co-operative form of ownership whereby a building is owned by a corporation (the co-op).  The co-op financing then sets up a contract that  leases the individual apartment back to the individual.  As a result, the ownership and financing of a co-op is more complicated than it is for any other mortgage type of housing.  The potential buyer of a co-op apartment is buying into the corporation and therefore becoming a shareholder in that corporation. The typical co-op financing transaction involves a buyer, seller, co-op board and the management company.

  WHAT meaning  known as a SHARE loan? When buying a co-op, the financing loan structure seems the same and is often referred to as a mortgage but, in fact, the loan is typically a share loan. If a homeowner buys either a condo or single family home, a loan is often provided to help the person buy the property. That loan is known as a mortgage. The loan is secured by the shares is therefore known as a share loan. Because the buyer is buying shares of the corporation, they are borrowing the money to buy these shares.

  HOW long to obtain Coop Financing? The process will be determined by 1) The speed in which the buyer can meet with the co-op board and  2) Our processing of the mortgage application; 3) Additionally the completion and recording of the recognition agreement.  The normal process for obtaining a letter of commitment is similar to that of a condo or single family home.  However, only after the letter of commitment is issued, can the board interview  take place.  We work with every borrower to determine when the board application is due for their individual transaction. Closings may sometimes be delayed,  depending upon how often the coop board meets.
