Most lenders consider buildings with 4 and under units residential property. The rates and downpayment information can vary depending on the lender but generally a residential property is financed at a different rate/terms than a commercial property. Again check with a local lender. The bank is also looking at the amount of money you are putting down and your credit. These things can also influence the rate offered by the lender.

I've personally bought quite a few investment properties over the years. Figure that you will pay a half to a full point extra for an investment mortgage. Great time to get started. Good luck, Mark

Enough spam please Mr. Talas. I have a severe allergy to fresh spam. You need to read the Zillow policy against self promotion here. You can always direct people to your profile page so people can learn more about your and your business. Zillow also has a great video to help you make the most out of your profile here. Hope the links are useful.

It depends on a few different factors. How many units will the investment property consist of? One family two family? What percent of the contract price will be your down payment. Please contact me to further discuss. I would love to do your loan for you at a very low interest rate!

Hello:
A great place to look is either bankrate.com or gombergfinancial.com . Generally investor rates are a point higher than traditional owner occupied loans. Best.

Put 25% down for better interest rate. Rates would be in the high 5% range.
