I have a co-op in New York City and I’m looking to see if anyone has refinanced a co-op and what the best places to look are as many banks don’t deal with co-ops? I have a 2.75 interest rate quote on a 30 yr fixed now from Wells Fargo, was thinking local credit unions perhaps.
I have faced the same issue as NYC co-ops tend to be more difficult and some lneders may avoid the overhead). Especially since some banks have a backlog right now. I have both primary residence and rental investement co-ops and the investment property has been extremely hard for me to find (despite the fact that it is already paid off). Good luck!

@Account Closed you shouldn’t have trouble finding a bank that will lend on a coop, unless it’s investor friendly and investor ratio in the building is high. That said, Wells Fargo has been my go to referral lately because their rates have been great.

Happy to recommend someone at Bank of America as well. But seems like you got a great rate. I think you will have more issues dealing with the co-op board on this than the bank!
Appreciate the offer @Scott Wolf. As of literally 7pm tonight it seems we’ve made some progress with the current effort. I’ll reach out if I have a need in the future.
