How much down payment does Foreign Buyer need to buy One Bedroom condo in Manhattan New York
How much down payment does Foreign Buyer need to buy One Bedroom condo?
There is no clear cut answer to how much down payment a foreign buyer will need.
Through our many successful experiences helping foreign buyers, we can provide you some ideas as to what to expect if youare thinking about financing or obtaining mortgage in the United States.
If you are a foreigner national thinking of buying in Manhattan and want to obtain financing by US bank, you will need to prepare many documents and substantial amount of down payment in order to satisfy bank’s requirement and qualification.
On various property websites, perhaps you see Manhattan condominium buildings only require a 10%
down payment. Keep in mind that 10% is what each condo requires, but each bank will require much down payment more depending on each of your situation. Here are some different factor that will determine how much down payment is required:
- How much is the loan amount (the money you want to borrow from the bank)
- Different Type of Loan
- Your financial profile ( you may have to provide your home country bank information so the US bank can verify your assets or possibly ask you to open up a US bank account)
- The building you are interested in (US bank will evaluate each condo building and decide if the bank would want to lend in that building.)
It is in our experience that unless you have started the loan application, the bank will not be able to provide you their approximate estimation for the down payment, but usually the down payment is minimum 30% of the purchase price of the condo.
Many of our foreign international buyers put down payment 30% to start, sometimes up to 50%, it will really depend on the factors we mentioned above.
If you are thinking of buying a $1,000,000 condo in Manhattan New York, your down payment is going have to be at least $300,000. (this does not include your other closing cost of a condo)
Many foreign international buyers are not familiar buying in Manhattan New York, we helped them through the buying process and everything they need to know about the market and how Manhattan New York works here. If you are thinking of buying Manhattan condo, call us today (917)837-8869, or email us so we can talk about what you need to prepare before your trip to NYC.

————————————————————————————————
大家好, 我是Eileen Hsu 許雅嵐, 你也可以稱呼 我Eileen. 我是在曼哈頓做地產的經紀人 (Chinese Speaking Real Estate Agent). 今天我們談一談父母親幫孩子買房子有什麼幾點要注意的.
第 一點是, 紐約這邊的房員有百分之八十五是合作公寓, 如果您在網上看到的話就是叫做coop. 另外一種是condo. 那condo是什麼呢? Condo的話,就是有產權的房子. 有產權的房子對我們華人來講是比較方便的, 因為可以自由的出租或者說是轉賣, 不需要委員會的同意或者批准, 只是有些表格要填, 讓他們通過而已. 那如果我們今天要來買房子, 幫孩子買, 大部分的華人是買condo的. 因為這樣子如果孩子以後就職在別州或者是離開紐約, 可以當作一個投資的機會來出租.
還 有,第二點是時間上的關係, 如果說今天您是, 現金買 成交最快也是要四十五到六十天, 四十五天是最快的, 如果你們今天錢已經準備好了在銀行在美國的戶頭. 如果說今天是要貸款, 貸款的話時間就不能掌握了! 因為現在紐約貸款是非常非常的麻煩, 除了貸款人自己要有資格, 第二點銀行還要審核每棟樓,每棟樓都要經過銀行的同意,或者是批准才能借錢. 像過去兩三年前, 只要是您要借款, 你要借錢 ,銀行就願意借給你.
今天您如果要在這裡投資, 或著說幫孩子買房子, 請您跟我來電, 我們可以詳細的談, 我的電話是646-644-6929. 也可以麻煩您打個 e-mail 給我 我會馬上給你們回電好嗎 謝謝!
