Just depends. There are some 10% down options on bank statement loans for these type properties. There are also DSCR, investor cash flow loans but require 20%

What are current DSCR interest rates for 20% down 700 FICO $1,000,000 ?

 I can’t post rates on a public forum.  I will send a message

Im not following this at all. Someone posted a link below and it clearly says single unit, no rentals. Ive never used fannie mae and my broker (multiple actually) says he cant get me anything under 20 % down because i own a home. Unless i move of course.

 Post the link please 

 Better to discuss.  Most Loan Officers do not interpret correctly https://calendly.com/jeff-chis...

 Can you do something like this on a Air BnB? this is interesting and the first time I'm hearing of this.

 Absolutely!  I will close 20 of these this month.  Everyone same loan product, all will utilize as a short term rental.  All over the United States

 The bank statement loan program that somebody talked to me about had a much higher interest-rate. Maybe I didn’t talk to the right person. 🧐

 Yeah rates on the investor Vm cash flow loans are going to be higher than second home occupancy through Fannie but they are not bad

Can you use an LLC and it not show up on your credit?

Has to be in your personal name but after a year you can transfer title into an LLC

Do it as a second home... 10% down and 30 year fixed. YOU CANNOT DO BETTER THAN THIS LOAN!

Don’t tell anyone you will be renting it out in Airbnb the mortgage company will not care! At this stage they all know that most everyone will be renting out second homes when not used and short term renters don’t use it for a residence

Also the mortgage company or bank you finance with will likely sell off the loan anyway.

And finally, you can technically have 50 second homes... the only issue is you can’t have two in the same state but you can have a second home in every state and often deal with the same lender

For example Mr Cooper (mortgage company out of Dallas TX) can do loans with 10% down for second homes in all 50 states and rates are very fair

Good luck

 No need to keep it a secret if you want to list the home you purchased with a 10% down second home occupancy loan.  Fannie Mae allows it.  You can have more than one of these properties in the same state.  You can have up to 10 mortgages in your name.  So you could have 50 of them but only 10 mortgages out at one time.  Hope that helps.

@Corwin Lyvers great information! I really appreciate it! One question: Is there a difference between a second home mortgage and a vacation home mortgage? Is there actually such thing as a vacation home mortgage? 

 One in the same.  10% down and it is allowed to rent out on a short term basis

 Typically.  That's going to make the most sense to an underwriter as to why you would have multiple second homes.  There is a scenario where you own more than one in the same area.  I call it the bigger and better rule.
