New York Multifamily Buyer

We Buy Apartment Buildings In New York

From upstate cities with affordable, high-yield multifamily to the nation’s largest rental market in New York City, we evaluate apartment buildings across the Empire State.

Local Knowledge

Selling Multifamily In New York

Every state has its own tax, legal, and market dynamics. A few things we factor into every New York offer:

  • Rent stabilization and the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act significantly affect many New York City buildings — and some local municipalities that opted in.
  • Upstate markets such as Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse offer older multifamily stock at lower price points with steady renter demand.
  • Property tax classes and assessment practices differ between New York City and the rest of the state, so we underwrite each locality separately.
