STEP 1: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

PURCHASING A SECOND HOME INVESTMENT

If you are financing a piece of property that you don’t intend to live in, then it falls into one of two categories. If it’s a beach home or mountain home that will be a weekend residence, then it will be called a second home. If it’s a place that you intend to rent out, or that you’re buying for that relative with terrible credit, it’s an investment property (note an investment property doesn’t have to be just a house held for investment income). If it falls into the second home category, then typically your interest rate will be the same as on an owner-occupied residence. However, if it’s an investment property, your rate will be somewhat higher.
