Real estate can play an important role in a long-term investment strategy.

Whether you are preparing to purchase your first rental property or adding another asset to an established portfolio, choosing the right financing is an important part of the decision.

Staples Group Mortgage works with both traditional and specialized investment-property financing scenarios.

Conventional Investment Property Loans

Conventional financing can be used for qualifying investment properties.

Requirements can differ from financing a primary residence.

Depending on the transaction, considerations may include:

• Down payment
• Credit
• Reserves
• Debt-to-income ratio
• Property type
• Number of financed properties

Staples Group Mortgage can review current program guidelines and help you understand potential financing options.

What Is a DSCR Loan?

DSCR stands for debt service coverage ratio.

Certain DSCR programs are designed for real estate investors and focus heavily on the property’s expected rental cash flow rather than using the borrower’s personal income in the same way as traditional mortgage qualification.

Staples Group Mortgage offers access to DSCR financing among its Non-QM options for eligible investors.

Think Beyond the Interest Rate

When analyzing investment financing, consider the complete numbers.

These may include:

• Mortgage payment
• Taxes
• Insurance
• Association fees
• Maintenance
• Vacancy assumptions
• Property management
• Expected rental income
• Cash reserves

Staples Group Mortgage can help borrowers review financing in the context of their broader real estate plans.

Financing Additional Properties

As your real estate portfolio grows, financing needs may change.

An investor who begins with conventional financing may later explore additional programs based on:

• Number of properties
• Income structure
• Available equity
• Investment strategy
• Property type

Building a relationship with Staples Group Mortgage can make it easier to explore future financing options as your portfolio evolves.

Using Home Equity Strategically

Some homeowners may explore accessing equity from another property to support an investment purchase.

Possible options can include HELOCs or fixed second mortgages, subject to qualification and individual financial circumstances.

Staples Group Mortgage provides access to both home-equity solutions.
