Who wouldn\u2019t want to own an additional home, or even earn income from it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But getting a mortgage for an investment property or second home is more complicated than getting a mortgage for your primary residence. If you\u2019re thinking about adding another home to your property portfolio, here are a few things you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes an investment home different from a second home?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975-1024x645.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975-1024x645.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975-1536x968.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/katie-manning-461915-unsplash-e1531772310975.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s a second home or an investment home, the purchase of an additional property is a pretty serious investment for a buyer. But for mortgage lenders, there are big differences between the two property types that require the distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When most people think of second homes, they think of vacation homes. A cozy cabin in the woods, maybe. A sun-soaked bungalow on the beach. Of course, second homes don\u2019t have to be strictly for fun. You could buy a second home in a city you travel to frequently for business, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as your mortgage lender is concerned, the thing that makes a second home a second home is that you, the homebuyer, intend to live in your second home for some part of the year. In other words, <strong>a second home is a residence for your personal use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you don\u2019t intend to live in the house you\u2019re buying\u2014or if you intend to live there for a few weeks a year, maybe, but plan to rent the property to tenants most of the time\u2014then your mortgage lender will view the home as an investment property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what <em>is<\/em> an investment home?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/07\/timothy-meinberg-459016-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/timothy-meinberg-459016-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/timothy-meinberg-459016-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/timothy-meinberg-459016-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/timothy-meinberg-459016-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>An investment property is any home you purchase for the purposes of generating income. <\/strong>&nbsp;An investment property could be a home you plan to improve and then sell. It could be a property you intend to rent out to others. Or it could just be a home in an area where you expect property values will rise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas your first property could be seen as a place to live, and a second home could be a place to play \u2013 an investment property is a place you expect to, in a sense, work for you as a value-creating asset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I want to rent my second home to tenants all or part of the year? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You may be able to offer your second home to tenants for short-term rentals for part of the year. Rules on renting out second homes on services like <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/tips-tricks\/5-tips-get-house-airbnb-ready\/\"><strong>Airbnb<\/strong><\/a><strong> have softened recently.<\/strong> But be sure you understand the fine print before you rent out the place.&nbsp; Offering your second home for rent for more than the allowed number of days could result in your lender calling your mortgage due in full, immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also worth noting: you won\u2019t be able to count any potential rental income toward the total income level you need to qualify for the mortgage on a second home.<strong> You could potentially count rental income toward your total income for an investment property. <\/strong>(Though in that case, your lender may want to see that you\u2019ve had experience managing rental properties before agreeing to count on future rent to help you pay your investment property mortgage. After all, managing tenants isn\u2019t easy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to know before buying an investment home<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/07\/liana-mikah-709546-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/liana-mikah-709546-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/liana-mikah-709546-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/liana-mikah-709546-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll Need a Significant Down Payment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For primary residences, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.himorty.com\/mortgage-101\/everything-need-know-mortgage-insurance\/\">mortgage insurance protects lenders who agree to loan mortgages to homebuyers without significant down payments<\/a>. With mortgage insurance, your lender is protected if you are unable to repay your mortgage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But <strong>mortgage insurance isn\u2019t available for investment properties or vacation homes. <\/strong>Without it, the risk to your lender goes up. From a practical standpoint, that means your lender will likely require a significant down payment. For an investment property, expect to put down at least 20% \u2013 but 25% to 30% down is not unheard of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Buying an additional property means tougher requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lenders have much stricter underwriting requirements for both second home and investment property purchases.<\/strong> After all, your primary residence is <em>where you live<\/em>. If you stop paying your mortgage for your primary residence, you\u2019ll need to find a new place to sleep at night. That\u2019s a pretty strong incentive to make those mortgage payments, and lenders know that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for a mortgage on a home that won\u2019t be your primary residence, you\u2019ll need to show lenders that you\u2019re an exceptionally trustworthy and well-qualified borrower. For borrowers, that means meeting higher minimum credit score and cash reserve requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And just like your first home purchase, you\u2019ll need to show that you\u2019ve got enough income to cover all of your monthly debt obligations, with some room to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need a helping hand?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/morty-content-production.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2018\/07\/daria-nepriakhina-496201-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/daria-nepriakhina-496201-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/daria-nepriakhina-496201-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/daria-nepriakhina-496201-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.morty.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/daria-nepriakhina-496201-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>With this in mind, the prospect of buying another home may seem intimidating.
