Investment property mortgage products sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac require a down payment ranging from 10% to 25% with an investment property mortgage fee ranging from 1.5 to 3 points. Please understand that these fees are imposed by Fannie and Freddie and are not charges from either your lender or your broker. However, the investment property mortgage fee allows using conventional rates and loan limits. These conforming loans are available as either fixed rate or an ARM. Even with the investment property mortgage fees, these loans can be a good choice if your goals are to maximize cash flow and you plan to hold the investment 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 income is decreased by a 25% vacancy factor but there are underwriting methods which eliminates this issue for experienced investors. The Investment Property Mortgage Specialty program (actually a growing group of investment property mortgage 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 a No Documentation investment property mortgage is available. Available as a fixed or adjustable rate in many reduced down payment scenarios.. I have an investment property mortgage based on the LIBOR Index. |
