Tips for Finding Great Rental Property Mortgage Rates in Florence
Data from the National Multifamily Housing Council shows that one-third of all American homes are rented out, creating a wealth of opportunity for homeowners. But, securing a mortgage for a rental property is a little bit different than a traditional home mortgage and finding the best rental property mortgage rates is only one small step in the process. Some of the things to consider when seeking a rental property mortgage include:
Down Payment: Rental properties often require a minimum down payment of 20% and typically have higher interest rates than a regular home mortgage.
Tip: Save enough money to cover six months of the mortgage yourself in case your property does not rent out right away.
Insurance: Private mortgage insurance is not available for rental properties like it is for a typical home mortgage.
Tip: Seek out renter’s insurance to protect you from liability.
Flexibility: Smaller banks such as First Bank can often offer greater flexibility and better local market knowledge than big banks.
Tip: Sign up for a free personal mortgage consultation with a Florence, SC First Bank specialist.
Experience: Customers with no rental property or landlord experience may have a more difficult time qualifying for a rental mortgage.
Tip: Join the Florence, SC Rental Property Owners Network to gain valuable knowledge and experience that can support your case for getting a rental property mortgage.
