Finance multiple New York investment properties under one loan. Simplify your portfolio with one payment and one lender.

Scale Your New York Portfolio With a Blanket Mortgage

New York offers a diverse real estate investment landscape, from the world-class New York City market to the more affordable upstate markets of Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. DSCR loans are popular with NYC-area investors who may have complex income situations or self-employment income that makes traditional qualification difficult. Upstate New York markets like Buffalo and Rochester offer strong cash flow opportunities with cap rates significantly above downstate markets.

Managing separate mortgages for each investment property in New York creates unnecessary complexity - multiple payments, multiple lenders, multiple closing dates. A portfolio loan consolidates your New York rental properties under a single blanket mortgage with one monthly payment, one lender relationship, and one set of terms. This simplifies your operations and can improve your borrowing power as lenders evaluate the strength of your entire portfolio rather than each property in isolation. Sinai Capital shops your portfolio to 50+ lenders to find the best rate and structure for your New York investment properties.

New York Portfolio Loan FAQ

What is a portfolio loan in New York?+
A portfolio loan in New York allows you to finance multiple investment properties under a single loan with one monthly payment. Instead of managing separate mortgages for each property, a portfolio loan (also called a blanket mortgage) consolidates them into one streamlined package. This simplifies your finances and can unlock better terms as lenders see the strength of the entire portfolio.
How many properties can I finance with a portfolio loan in New York?+
Most portfolio lenders in New York require a minimum of 5 properties, though some will consider portfolios starting at 3 properties. There is generally no maximum - some lenders finance portfolios of 20, 50, or even 100+ properties. The key factor is the overall strength and cash flow of the combined portfolio.
What is the difference between a blanket mortgage and a portfolio loan in New York?+
In New York, the terms are often used interchangeably. A blanket mortgage is a single loan that covers multiple properties, which is essentially what a portfolio loan does. The main distinction is that "portfolio loan" can also refer to any loan a lender keeps on their own books rather than selling to the secondary market. For real estate investors, both terms describe financing multiple properties under one loan.
What are portfolio loan rates in New York?+
Portfolio loan rates in New York typically range from 6.5% to 10%, depending on the size of the portfolio, combined DSCR, borrower credit score, and LTV. Larger portfolios with strong cash flow often qualify for better rates. Working with Sinai Capital, we shop your portfolio to 50+ lenders to find the most competitive rate available.
Can I add properties to my portfolio loan later?+
This depends on the lender and loan structure. Some New York portfolio lenders offer release clauses that allow you to add or remove individual properties from the blanket mortgage without refinancing the entire loan. Others may require a new loan or modification. We can match you with lenders who offer flexible portfolio structures that accommodate growth.
What is cross-collateralization in a portfolio loan?+
Cross-collateralization means that all the properties in your New York portfolio serve as collateral for the single loan. If you default on one property, the lender has a claim on all properties in the portfolio. While this sounds risky, it is what allows lenders to offer better terms and higher leverage on portfolio loans. Some lenders offer partial release clauses so you can sell individual properties without triggering a full payoff.
