Owner-Occupied Investment Property or Second Home

If you plan to reside in part of the property and rent out other units or sections to tenants, this arrangement allows you to generate rental income while also benefiting from the convenience of living on the property. You can potentially lower mortgage rates compared to non-owner-occupied investment properties. As an owner-occupier, you may be able to take advantage of these investment property loan options as well as others:

FHA Home Loan with a downpayment as low as 3.5% of the loan amount
Choose from an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) or a fixed-rate conventional mortgage loan with a downpayment as low as 15% of the loan amount for 1 unit

Non-Owner-Occupied Investment Property

A non-owner-occupied mortgage is an investment property mortgage, or rental mortgage, that is tailored for borrowers who have no plans to reside in the property themselves.

Single Family Unit Property

With a single-family unit, you have only one set of tenants, which can mean fewer maintenance concerns and potentially lower vacancy risks. This may be an easier solution for individual investors, especially those who are new to real estate investing.

Conventional Mortgage Loans with a downpayment as low as 15% of the loan amount for 1 unit

Multifamily or Multiunit Property (Non-Owner Occupied)

Purchasing properties with multiple units allows you to generate rental income from each unit, potentially increasing overall cash flow compared to single-unit properties.

Mortgage Loans with downpayment options as low as 25% of the loan amount are available for 2-4 unit properties
Commercial Rental Property Loans are available for locations with 5+ units

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines investment property mortgage rates?

Investment property mortgage rates are based on a series of factors, such as the number of units, whether it is owner-occupied, the downpayment amount, and the owner’s credit-worthiness. If you are interested in owning rental homes and investing on property, our Mortgage Experts would be happy to help you determine the best loan for your situation. You can begin the application process online, call 1-855-468-7318, or contact one of our Mortgage Loan Officers to learn more.

Can I use a HELOC to buy an Investment Property?

Yes, you can use a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or Home Equity Loan to buy an investment property, but there are certain factors and considerations to keep in mind. To use a HELOC or Home Equity Loan for purchasing an investment property, you need to have sufficient equity in your primary residence. Every individual's financial situation is unique, and it's important to make informed decisions based on your specific circumstances.

What type of investment property types can Midland States Bank help me purchase?

Our loan options are suitable for various investment property types, including residential rental properties, commercial properties, and multi-unit dwellings. Call 1-855-468-7318 or contact one of our Mortgage Loan Officers to learn more. If you are investing on property with 5 or more units, you would need a commercial rental property and would need a commercial loan. We can help you finance these investments too. Call 1-855-696-4352 to get started, or schedule an appointment online.

What counts as a rental property?

A rental property is any property that you own for the purpose of subletting for additional income. It can be managed by a rental company, be owner occupied or the owner doesn't need to live there at any time. We can help you determine what kind of loan you need for your property. Simply call 1-855-468-7318 or contact one of our Mortgage Loan Officers to learn more about owning rental homes.

What does a “unit” refer to?

In the context of investment property, a "unit" typically refers to a separate and self-contained living space. It can be an individual apartment, condominium, townhouse, or any other distinct living area that is part of a multifamily or multiunit property.

For example, in a duplex, each side of the building could be considered a separate unit. In an apartment building, each apartment would be considered a separate unit. In the case of a multiunit property, like a fourplex, there would be four individual units, each with its own living space and often its own amenities.

Investors often purchase properties with multiple units as they can generate rental income from each unit, potentially increasing overall cash flow compared to single-unit properties. Rental property management can be a great source of income.

What if I want to buy rental properties that have 5 or more units?

If you are investing in property that has 5 or more units, this is considered a commercial rental property and would need a commercial loan. Midland States Bank can also help you finance these investments. Call 1-855-696-4352 to get started.
