Our rental property loans are first lien mortgage loans secured by single-family residential properties (1 to 4 units) occupied by tenants. These loans are ideal for both long-term and short-term rentals, including vacation rentals, as long as the property is rent-ready. We refer to these loans as investment property loans, non-QM loans, or investor DSCR loans. While this post focuses on buy and hold single-family properties, it’s important to note that investment property loans can also be used for fix and flips or commercial properties. Let’s explore further:
Investment Property Loans vs. Conventional Home Loans
While the application process for both investment property loans and conventional loans is similar, there are key differences to consider. Investment property loans typically require larger down payments, often around 25%, compared to the 3% typically required for consumer mortgages. Additionally, interest rates and fees for investment property loans are higher, typically ranging from 100 to 400 basis points above traditional mortgage rates. It’s important to understand these differences when evaluating your financing options.
How to Finance an Investment Property
For serious real estate investors looking to build a portfolio, there are three primary investment property loan options: agency loans (Fannie/Freddie), local/regional banks, and alternative lenders like PrivFunding. Alternative lenders provide more flexibility and appealing terms, as they are not bound by the regulations imposed on banks and government-sponsored entities. They often underwrite investment property loans based on rental income rather than personal income, resulting in simplified documentation requirements. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each loan option to determine the best fit for your investment strategy.
Investment Property Loan Qualifications and Process
Qualifying for an investment property loan involves meeting both property and borrower requirements. Lenders typically expect a down payment of 25% (varies based on credit score) and proof of 6-12 months of liquid cash reserves. Creditworthiness plays a crucial role, so it’s advisable to improve your credit score before applying. Documentation requirements differ between conventional loans and investment property loans, with the latter often focusing on the cash flow generated by the rental property. Ensuring your property is rent-ready and meeting minimum loan requirements are additional considerations.
The investment property loan process closely mirrors that of a traditional mortgage. Begin by selecting a lender that offers suitable loan programs, taking into account factors such as your experience as an investor. Fill out an application with your chosen lender, ensuring you have thoroughly researched and evaluated their offerings. Once your loan file moves into processing, you’ll provide any remaining documentation required. Finally, upon approval, your investment property loan will be funded, and you can move forward with your rental property investment.
