My wife and I are looking to buy an apt in Brooklyn or Queens, we will have to borrow money from my in-laws

10% of the purchase price. We have about 5% saved for closing costs and any repairs or renovations to the apt. Are there any banks that will loan us 90% in this market? My wife has stellar credit (over 810 Fico) I have a Fico score of 699. We were told that it was highly unlikely that we can get financing of 90% on a co-op in NY.

Stuart-

I have a conventional co-op loan that you can use to buy you co-op. It requires as little as 5% down so you should be fine if you are putting 10% down. However, you did not indicate the loan amount so I would just need to make sure that is in line as well.

Feel free to call me if you have questions.

Hi Stuart,
According to the info you are presenting, 90% is doable.

I actually was talking about looking at Co-Ops in the NYC area.

FHA allows a gift for the downpayment.

This would be the easiest way to go. I can get a commitment within 10 days on a FHA loan after I have all the docs.

FICO scores are good for this deal but you should know that the scores can go as low at 581.

I am a registered mortgage broker.

Hello Stuart
I currently have a buyer in contract with 10% down. He got a commitment letter for 90% financing within 3 weeks. He is purchasing a 1 br coop in brooklyn and hopfully should be closing soon after the board approval. If you have strong financials (good credit and good income) you can get 90% financing. He also had a great mortgage broker. Feel free to contact me at 718-629-8060 for more information.
