Looking to build your real estate portfolio or purchase a vacation home?
Investment property loans offer flexible financing for buyers who want to own property beyond their primary residence. Whether you're purchasing your first rental or adding to an existing portfolio, conventional loans provide long-term financing with predictable payments and competitive rates.
What Counts as an Investment Property?
An investment property is any residential property that is not your primary residence and is intended to generate rental income or long-term appreciation. This includes:
Single-family rental homes
Condos or townhomes for lease
Vacation homes or second homes
Multi-unit properties (2–4 units)
Benefits of Conventional Investment Property Loans:
Available for single-family and multi-unit homes
Fixed and adjustable-rate options
15–25% down payment required (varies by property type and occupancy)
Competitive interest rates
Use projected rental income to help qualify
Eligible for rate-and-term or cash-out refinance
Qualification Guidelines
Investment property financing follows stricter guidelines than primary residence loans. Most lenders require:
Minimum 15% down for single-family rentals (25% for multi-units)
Credit score of 680+ (720+ preferred for best pricing)
Reserves (2–6 months of mortgage payments in savings)
Documented rental income or market rent estimates
Strong debt-to-income ratio and provable income
We’ll guide you through the qualification process and help structure your financing to support your short- and long-term goals.
