Industry update - investment property financing

Your investor client may not need 25% down

A conventional path to a non-owner-occupied purchase with as little as {{product.downMinOneUnit}} down and no mortgage insurance. It fits a narrow client profile - the fit screen below tells you in about two minutes whether a client qualifies.

The fit screen

Every gate that decides whether a client qualifies - one unit or two to four.

Who fits, and who does not

It fits when

  • The buyer is purchasing a non-owner-occupied {{product.unitsRange}} unit property.
  • The down payment lands between {{product.downMinOneUnit}} on one unit ({{product.downMinMultiUnit}} on two to four units) and {{product.downMaxEligible}}.
  • Credit is {{product.ficoMin}} or better, and DTI lands at or under {{product.dtiMaxOneUnit}} on a single unit, {{product.dtiMaxMultiUnit}} on two to four.
  • The buyer already owns a primary residence and has documented reserves sitting behind the down payment.
  • Down payment and reserves are the buyer's own funds.

It does not fit when

  • The buyer is putting {{product.downIneligibleAt}} or more down. Minimum LTV is {{product.ltvMin}}, so the larger down payment disqualifies the loan and standard agency financing applies instead.
  • The buyer is refinancing. Purchases only.
  • The buyer does not already own a primary residence and needs the subject's rental income to qualify.
  • The down payment is a gift.
  • The plan is short-term rental.
  • The property is a manufactured home, mobile home, co-op, or working farm.
  • The buyer already has {{product.maxLoansOutstanding}} loans outstanding under this program.
  • The buyer is a foreign national.
Clears the left column? The call is worth making. Lands in the right column? You just saved everyone a week.
