How Much Cash Do I Need to Buy a Second Home?

Anytime you purchase a second home that is not your primary residence, it is labeled as an Investment Property or Second Home in the mortgage world.

Non-Primary Residence

This just means you have a second home that is either used for a rental property or a vacation home. Anytime you have a loan on a property that is not your primary residence, there are just a few simple rules that apply to your loan. Of course every situation is unique, so please call and talk to a loan officer to see what your exact numbers would look like in your situation.

But in general:

• At least 10% is required for a second home

• You are subject to a higher interest rate then what you could qualify for on a primary residence
