Commercial Coops

Commercial coops have undergone a dramatic change recently. Until this year they had what was known as an eight twenty rule, stating that a New York coop had to make eighty percent of it’s income from owner occupied units and only twenty percent could come from renting out commercial coops. This rule has changed and now coop building associations can get fair rents for the commercial space and still be able to maintain the tax benefits for the owners of the residential units. 

This in turn means that coops can afford better services and this in turn raises the value of the building and individual units. What does this mean for the buyer looking for commercial coops in New York? A better return on their investment, a more valuable home and the possibility of a better mortgage rate.
