Lenders and floors behind 516 New York loans

Annual loans peak in FY2018 at 70 ($37.7 million) and bottom out in FY2020 at 29 ($26.5 million). In New York, NY, 7(a) loans sit mostly with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association with 69 loans for $18.3 million; TD Bank, National Association with 68 loans for $31.0 million; Newtek Bank, National Association with 25 loans for $7.9 million. The 7(a) ranking splits: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association on loan count, TD Bank, National Association on dollars approved. For JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, the $18.3 million is what SBA shows it holding or having held, and that may vary from where the 69 began. For 504, Empire State Certified Development Corporation (62 loans, $67.0 million) lead the New York-Newark-Jersey City list. Cancellation after approval is 18.1% at minimum and 20.5% at most, for New York approvals of FY2017 to FY2024. New York, NY keeps its charge-off rate back: the 516 loans leave too few disbursed ones in the cohort, and that is not a zero.

The New York, NY study: demand, cost, coverage, appraisal at $783,500

Revenue around New York rests on how many clinicians the practice can seat, payer mix and nearby hospital affiliations, built from the ground up, not from 516 past loans. A sound New York budget names the months a new practice needs to fill its schedule, records and billing systems and staff recruitment, then tests each line against New York, NY comparables. Coverage in New York is tested at $350,000, $111,000 and $783,500 alike, because the record spans that range. Expect the New York appraisal to separate specialized buildout, the real estate and practice goodwill; a study that has already done so spares the applicant surprises in New York, NY. A $321.6 million record cannot approve a New York-Newark-Jersey City project, and no reading of it should be taken as a promise.

Metro is the CBSA (metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area) of the loan's project county, July 2023 delineation (OMB Bulletin 23-01). The county is matched by name (manifests/ld2/county-cbsa-map.csv); a loan whose county cannot be placed in a 2023 CBSA is left out of every metro.

A value marked withheld rests on fewer than 5 loans, or is withheld so that such a figure cannot be derived from other published figures.
