When you are looking to finance a second or vacation home, there are things to keep in mind.
You should consider the following:
- You need a minimum of 10% down payment, it is better if you can put 20% down as you can avoid mortgage insurance.
- The location of the home needs to make sense. There is not a rule that says the home has to be a certain amount of miles from your primary residence, but, it has to make sense that it is a second, or vacation, home.
For instance, in Arizona, if you own a home in Phoenix, you can have a second home in Flagstaff, or Prescott, but not in Chandler. The lenders would treat the home in Chandler as an investment property.
If you are looking to finance a second, or vacation home contact us. We’re here to help. We work for you, not the lender.
