Clear answers to common questions about investment property financing. Program requirements, rates, and availability can change; a complete application is required for loan-specific guidance.

What is a investment property loan?

Investment property financing is mortgage credit for residential real estate that will not be the borrower’s primary residence or second home. Underwriting and pricing differ from owner-occupied loans.

Who may qualify for a investment property loan?

Programs may evaluate personal income, property cash flow, credit, assets, reserves, experience, ownership structure, and the number of financed properties.

What documents could be required?

The exact checklist depends on the program. Common items include identification, income or alternative-income records, asset statements, housing history, property documents, and written explanations when needed.

How are mortgage rates and closing costs determined?

Rates and costs depend on market conditions, loan type, term, property, occupancy, credit profile, equity, lock timing, points, and lender pricing. Review the Loan Estimate rather than relying on a headline rate.

How much down payment or equity is required?

Investor loans generally require a larger equity contribution than primary-residence financing. The amount varies by program and property.

Can this option be used for a purchase or refinance?

Available products may support purchases and refinances of eligible rental properties, including rate-and-term and cash-out transactions.

How long does the mortgage process take?

Timing depends on documentation, appraisal needs, title work, property questions, lender capacity, and transaction deadlines. Kevin will explain the expected milestones for the specific file.

How does credit affect the available options?

Credit history and score can influence eligibility, pricing, down payment or equity, and reserves, but they are evaluated with the full application. A credit review is needed for scenario-specific guidance.

What properties may qualify?

One- to four-unit rentals, condominiums, and some specialty properties may be eligible depending on lender and program rules.
