REBNY Financial Statement Guidance
In New York City’s co-op and condo market, submitting a clear and complete REBNY Financial Statement (Statement C) is critical to buying. As experienced buyer’s agents, we help clients confidently prepare their REBNY statements to meet seller and co-op board expectations and avoid costly delays.
What Is the REBNY Financial Statement?
The REBNY Financial Statement, created by the Real Estate Board of New York, is a standardized two-page form required in most NYC co-op and condo transactions. It serves as a personal financial snapshot summarizing your assets, liabilities, income, and projected monthly expenses. It is used by co-op boards, managing agents, attorneys, and sellers to evaluate your financial qualifications.
Why It Matters in NYC Real Estate
Co-op boards, in particular, conduct detailed financial reviews before approving a sale. Submitting an incomplete or inconsistent REBNY Financial Statement can hurt your offer or lead to rejection. A well-prepared statement helps demonstrate financial responsibility and preparedness, two things boards and sellers take seriously.
We guide buyers through this process, ensuring their financial picture is clear, accurate, and positioned to meet board standards.
What Co-op and Condo Boards Look For
Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) and post-closing liquidity are the most critical financial metrics boards review. Here’s what you need to know:
Co-ops
- Most co-op boards require a DTI ratio of 25% to 30% or less.
- Your monthly housing expenses (including mortgage and maintenance) should not exceed 25%–30% of your gross monthly income.
- Many co-ops also require 1 to 2 years of post-closing liquidity, meaning you should have enough liquid assets remaining after the purchase to cover 12–24 months of mortgage and maintenance costs.
Condos
- Condo boards tend to be more flexible but still review financials.
- A DTI ratio under 40% is generally acceptable, though some may approve higher ratios if the buyer has strong reserves or high net worth.
- Liquidity requirements are typically less strict than co-ops, but you should still show that you’re not overleveraged.
We help you calculate these ratios accurately and ensure your REBNY Statement reflects a strong financial position.
Key Sections of the REBNY Financial Statement
Assets
List liquid and non-liquid assets: checking and savings accounts, brokerage and retirement funds, real estate, and other investments. Co-op boards want to see sufficient cash reserves post-closing.
Liabilities
Disclose all outstanding debts, including credit cards, car loans, student loans, and existing mortgages. This helps determine your DTI and overall financial health.
Income
Include all consistent income sources: salary, bonuses, dividends, rental income, and business income. This supports your ability to cover ongoing housing costs.
Monthly Expenses
After closing mortgage payments, maintenance, property taxes, and insurance, estimate your monthly costs. Co-op boards use this information to evaluate whether you can comfortably afford the unit.
Submit With Confidence
Submitting a completed REBNY Financial Statement with your initial offer strengthens your position in a competitive market. It shows sellers and boards that you’re financially qualified and well-prepared, increasing your chances of acceptance and speeding up the approval process.
