Hey Rotchild,
As a hard money lender, I would like to provide you with a few tips to solidify financing:
1. Make sure you can show experience
Lenders will give you a high LTC (up to 92%) if you can show you have 5 or more flips completed in the last 36 months. You will want to show your closing statements, before and after picture, SOWs, and any Permits to validate the experience. You may also use you Realtor or GC license to help you out with experience if you do not have 5 or more flips.
2. Be very conservative with the ARV
Most nationwide hard money lenders will order an appraisal or virtual inspection to determine the ARV and AS IS value. I would have at least 5-6 Comps lined up to support your ARV and make sure they closely resemble the subject property.
3. Anticipate a higher rehab
Once the lender approves you for the budget and the loan closes, you are stuck with that amount and cannot request additional funds if you go over your budget. Having a higher budget will help you prevent the potential of coming out of pocket on the rehab.
4. Work with a lender that has flexible extensions
I have seen many investors underestimate their timelines to complete a rehab and end up paying high interest and points when their term expires. You will want to shop for a lender that can help you out if you are running out of time.

I'd make sure you are liquid enough. If you are getting into a distressed house for 150k+ which it looks like you may be in that area, then you'll need to be liquid 45k+ to get through the deal. Just really put some time into researching the capital exposure of the deal and making sure you can go out that far and be ok.

Not sure if they do NY, but Easystreet cap is a good one!
