Investing in a property is a great way to make passive income or provide a vacation home for your family.
An investment loan is for a single-family, townhome, condo, or multi-unit property that has been purchased with the intention of earning a return on the investment, either through rental income, future resale or both.
For an investment loan, a down payment is a must. For a single-family home, though it can be as little as a 15% down payment is required, but on a 2 – 4 unit property, it is as low as 25% down. If you are already in the property management game, you know that rental income can help you qualify, based upon the current rental market value.
If you are looking to buy a large home in a moderately-priced community or a moderate-size home in an expensive area of the country, a Jumbo Loan may be needed to finance the purchase. They are typically reserved for buyers with good credit, steady income, and a good amount of cash reserves.
It is a good idea to first decide on a plan for your investment property. Do you want to renovate and sell quickly? Rent it for a passive income source? Something else? What you do with the property will help determine what type of loan product may be suited to your needs.
