Best way to finance my first investment/short term rental

Shannon Green
Posted

This will be my first investment property. It will be a short term rental property. When it comes to financing, is it best to finance this first deal as a second home/vacation home? Only 10% down payment necessary. Or, should I be in financing another way? Any advice is appreciated. I am a newbie!

You generally have to say you this be a 2nd home for you and you will not be renting it to get a 10% down mortgage.
