What types of properties can I finance with an investment property loan?

You can purchase single-family rentals, 2–4 unit properties, condos, and even certain multi-family or mixed-use homes. Ryan O’Kane evaluates your goals and connects you with loan programs designed to fit the property’s potential and your investment strategy.

Yes. Many investment property loans consider projected or existing rental income in qualifying. Whether you’re buying a new rental or refinancing an existing property, this approach helps boost your eligibility for higher loan amounts and better terms.

Some investment property loan programs limit the total number of financed properties, but Ryan can help you find solutions—even if you have multiple existing mortgages. Portfolio loans or DSCR loans can simplify multi-property financing.

Down payment requirements typically range from 15–25% for investment loans, depending on factors like loan type, credit score, and occupancy. Ryan helps you explore conventional or non-QM options to find a down payment that fits your financial situation.

That’s perfectly fine. Whether you’re a first-time investor or an experienced landlord, Ryan O’Kane ensures a tailored approach. He’ll walk you through the fundamentals—like cash flow analysis and loan selection—so you can feel confident in your decisions.

Investment property loans typically require higher credit scores, larger down payments, and higher interest rates compared to loans for primary residences. Lenders assess property cash flow, rental potential, and borrower financial stability before approval.

A strong credit score usually leads to better rates and easier approval. Most lenders prefer a score of 620 or higher, but 700+ often unlocks more competitive interest rates and reduced risk overlays for investors.

An investment property loan is a mortgage used to purchase rental properties, multi-unit buildings, vacation homes, or fix-and-flip properties. Unlike primary home loans, investment property loans require higher down payments, stricter credit requirements, and verification of rental income potential.

Investment property loans can be used for single-family rentals, multi-family properties (duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes), short-term vacation rentals, and commercial real estate. Some programs also finance fix-and-flip projects for investors looking to renovate and resell properties.

Yes! Many lenders offer investment loans for short-term rental properties, including Airbnb and VRBO homes. Lenders assess the property’s rental income potential and may allow debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR) loans, which use rental income to qualify instead of personal income.

Most investment property loans require a minimum credit score of 640 to 700, but higher scores often lead to better interest rates and lower down payment requirements.

Down payments for investment property loans typically range from 15% to 25%, depending on the loan type, credit score, and financial profile. Some portfolio lenders and non-QM loan programs offer lower down payment options for experienced investors.

Yes! Many lenders allow borrowers to use projected or current rental income to help qualify. DSCR loans, for example, use the property’s rental income potential instead of personal income, making it easier for investors to secure financing.

Investment property loans generally have higher interest rates than primary home mortgages because lenders view them as higher-risk loans. However, borrowers with strong credit, solid financial reserves, and a larger down payment may qualify for competitive rates.

Debt-Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans qualify borrowers based on rental income rather than personal income. Lenders calculate the property’s cash flow versus loan payments, making it a great option for investors who want to qualify without W-2 income or tax returns.

First-time investors may benefit from conventional investment loans or FHA multi-unit financing, which allows owner-occupied properties with just 3.5% down. Other options include DSCR loans or non-QM mortgages, depending on income structure and investment strategy.

Most investment property loans require at least a 15% down payment, but some private lenders and portfolio loans may allow low or no down payment options for experienced investors. Hard money lenders also offer financing with lower cash requirements but higher interest rates.

Lenders typically allow investors to finance up to 10 properties using conventional loans, while portfolio lenders and non-QM lenders offer unlimited investment property financing for experienced borrowers.
