Vacation Home Loan- Rules
Hi everyone!
I was curious on the certain rules and amounts of vacation home loans you can have in your name? Does it depend on the different markets you invest in? Is there a certain limit?
Thanks!
If you are going through Fannie/Freddie there is the 10 financed property rule. However from the lending side there are ways around that rule through Non-QM and other strategies. Local gov will have stipulations on how you operate but shouldn't dictate lending side.
If you have any other questions feel free to reach out.
Best of Luck!
I agree with Torrell. You'll also want to keep in mind that agency loans look at a debt-to-income ratio. If these are vacation homes but also STRs, they'll need to show on taxes for a year to account for their income when purchasing the next home. Hope this helps and good luck.

One big issue is people trying to get a 2nd home loan and wanting use a partner or business entity. It's a 2nd home loan or it's a business loan pick one.

It really depends on your DTI and cash flow of the property. Eventually you may have to switch to commercial loans once you are maxed out on traditional loans. They solely analyze numbers but you must show expertise in your holding to prove to the bank you are a solid candidate to pick cash flowing deals that will hold value or appreciate.
