Rental property loans sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac require a down payment ranging from 10% to 25% with a rental property financing fee ranging from 1.5 to 3 points. Please understand that these rental property financing fees are imposed by Fannie and Freddie and are not charges from either your lender or your broker. However, the rental property financing fee allows using conventional rates and loan limits. These conforming loans are available as either fixed rate or an ARM. Even with the rental property financing fees, these loans can be a good choice if your goals are to maximize rental property cash flow and you plan to hold the property for a 3 to 5 year period. Ratios are normally 28/36, but with automated underwriting, excellent credit and some liquid reserves, it is not uncommon to see back ratios in the middle 40s. Rental property income is decreased by a 25% vacancy factor but there are underwriting methods which eliminates this issue for experienced investors. The Investor Loan Specialty program (actually a growing group of investor loan programs) allows purchase or refinances with only 5% equity. The program allows up to 20 properties plus your home. Available up to $1,000,000 and 2-4 unit properties are acceptable. Ratios are generally 34/40 and No Documentation loans are available. Available as a fixed or adjustable rate in many reduced down payment scenarios.. 100% financing for rental property is now available with fairly reasonable rates. These programs have been available for a while, but at extremely high rates compared to market rates. We finally have a source of financing that will allow you to acquire property with limited out of pocket costs.
