Common questions

What counts as an investment property for a loan?

A home you rent out or hold for income rather than live in. Lenders separate it from a primary residence, where you live, and a second home, which you use some of the time and do not rent full time. The category affects pricing, documents and the down payment. Be accurate: misrepresenting occupancy on a loan application is mortgage fraud.

Can I use expected rent to qualify for my first rental?

Some programs let you count rent from the home you are buying, using a lease or an appraiser's market rent estimate, and some limit how first-time landlords may use it. DSCR loans rely on the property's rent by design. Ask each lender how it treats rent for someone without a history of managing rentals.

Can I buy a rental in an LLC?

Many DSCR, portfolio and hard money lenders lend to LLCs, often with a personal guaranty. Conventional agency loans generally expect an individual borrower. Loans made to an LLC for rental property are usually business-purpose loans with different rules and disclosures, so ask which apply. Talk to a tax professional or attorney about whether an LLC suits you.
