Increased Down Payment
Typically, second home buyers are more affluent than first time
buyers. As a result, they may have more readily disposable money in
savings to use as a down payment. With a higher down payment, lenders
are likely to find other second home mortgage packages that reduce the
overall interest on the loan.
Home Equity Loan
Home equity loans: loans taken on your primary property are one way
to pursue a purchase of a second home. You may pay slightly higher than
average interest, perhaps a point or more. Home equity loans aren't
always the best bet because you are using your primary residence as
collateral. Be careful not to get overextended with the loan and
endanger your first property.
Traditional Mortgages
If you don't have the option of a larger down payment and aren't
interested in a home equity loan, there are still some options available
to you. It may take a little creativity on the part of the loan officer,
but there are some excellent second home mortgage programs available.
Before you start the process of shopping for a second home, find a
creative mortgage agent that can help you put together the best loan
package. Most agents can prequalify you for a second loan, so you know
of any potential problems before you encounter them.
