How to Get a Mortgage for a Rental Property Looking for rental property mortgage rates near you? If so, First Bank can provide you with tips and tricks on how to get a rental property mortgage, as well as how to find the best mortgage rates near you. Rental Property Tips: How to Get a Mortgage According to Money Under 30: “Getting a mortgage for an investment property can be headache. Your best bet is to be prepared before you even start down that path. Make sure you have enough cash reserves to make your lender happy, as well an impressive credit score.” How Can You Prepare? Know the lending limits — For example, Fannie Mae currently allows each investor to carry 10 loans at once. Look for investor-friendly lenders — Having a good relationship with your lender could be the key to success. Know your credit requirements — There are two different credit-qualification guidelines for getting rental property loans. Prepare your cash reserves — Lenders typically require you to have six months of cash reserves available per property. Be prepared to make a down payment — There are sets of guidelines regarding rental properties that you must follow when making a down payments. Show your W-2 income — Lenders typically require that you show a minimum of two solid years of W-2 income. Traditional Mortgage vs. Rental Property Mortgage If you are looking for a rental property mortgage, expect to find rates that are slightly higher than primary residence mortgages. Lenders are trusting that you will be able to rent the property to tenants and that they will be able to make their payments on time to you. Don’t be surprised to see mortgage rates for rental properties fluctuate more than primary residence mortgage rates from one lender to the next. Some lenders are more trusting in rental properties than others and may want to see that you have enough money to pay for both your primary residence mortgage and the rental property mortgage at the same time. This is a safety net for the bank in case your rental property fails to attract any renters or those renters fail to pay the rent. Mortgage rates can vary from one lender to the next but there are also some key differences in the mortgage itself when compared to 3 min read

FHA Mortgage Loan Insurance If you’re in the market for a new home, it’s quite likely that you have thought about acquiring mortgage loan insurance through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). Established in 1934, the FHA has helped millions of people insure their properties. Over the years, especially following the economic crisis of 2008, the FHA has implemented requirements for potential homebuyers. Loan Limits To remain eligible for FHA loan insurance, consumers must fall within the loan limits. These limits are not only divided by state but are also doled out per county. If you’re curious as to what your state’s FHA loan limits are, you can refer to the Federal Housing Administration’s website. Debt-to-Income Ratio This ratio was set to ensure homebuyers do not purchase a property that they cannot afford. By using these calculations, it can be determined whether or not a person has the potential to meet the demands of owning a home. The ratio is looked at in two different ways: Mortgage payment expense to effective income = Total mortgage payment divided by gross monthly income. The maximum qualifying ratio is 31%. Total fixed payment to effective income = Total mortgage payment added to monthly revolving and installment debt, which is then divided by gross monthly income. The maximum qualifying ratio is 43%. Credit FHA requires that a borrower have good credit standing. In order to receive approval, a lender analyzes the borrower’s past credit performance. Loan approval will likely be declined should the credit history reveal slow payments, poor financial decisions, and delinquent accounts. Other issues are having no credit history, filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, making late payments, being subjected to foreclosure, and receiving collections, judgements, or federal debts. Apply for an FHA Loan with First Bank You have a friend at First Bank to better understand the loan requirements. We work with the Federal Housing Administration to offer FHA insurance mortgages. In order to quicken the process, you can apply online. Just be prepared with some financial information, such as income, assets, and expenses; you will also have to know the property’s information, like the estimated purchase price and down payment (if buying) or estimated property value and loan amount (if refinancing). ——— Sources: 2 min read
