What are Investment Property Loans?

Investment Property Loans are home financing agreements in which the lender agrees to loan the borrower money to put toward the purchase of a residential property that will be used as an investment. In other words, and Investment Property Loan is a mortgage for homes that are rented out by families or individuals and not used as the owner’s residence.

What if you’re buying a home to use as a vacation house AND rent it out?

In some cases, homeowners can use Investment Property Loans to finance the purchase of a vacation home or second home that they plan to reside in part-time and rent out the rest of the time. With the rise of popular home sharing sites like VRBO and Airbnb, more and more property owners are using this platform to help offset the costs of buying their dream vacation home.

If you want to buy a home to use for your own enjoyment as well as rental income, you’ll need to compare the benefits and potential drawbacks of using an Investment Property Loan vs a traditional mortgage.

Using an Investment Property Loan can be beneficial to some borrowers, because the loan application allows the property’s projected rental income to count toward the borrower’s income, which may make it easier to qualify for the loan itself. However, Investment Property Loans typically require higher down payments and higher minimum credit scores. The lender may also want to see a lower debt to income (DTI) ratio, indicating that the borrower has minimal existing debt and can handle the financial obligations of being a landlord.

In other instances where the borrower intends to use the home as vacation property that is also rented out part-time, a conventional mortgage may make more sense. With a conventional mortgage, the borrower may be able to make a smaller down payment, and a less-than-perfect credit score won’t necessarily eliminate them from loan eligibility.
