Requirements For Investment Property Mortgages
Investment property loan lenders tend to consider rental units a higher risk than owner-occupied dwellings. This is because the landlord profession itself can be risky. If a tenant stops paying the rent, a landlord may stop paying the mortgage. So, investment property buyers need a good or excellent credit score, as well as a larger down payment than for a conventional mortgage. You also need to have a good debt-to-income ratio and proof of a steady income. Investment property loans may also have a slightly higher interest rate compared to mortgages on primary residences.
