Rental properties can be an excellent source of passive income for many homeowners. Land is a finite resource, meaning that its value can only increase. Purchasing a rental can create financial stability above and beyond your usual cash flow. Because of this, becoming a landlord can open up possibilities for long term goals and capital investment.
Have you considered…
Building a rental portfolio to build income and equity?
Turning your current home into a rental property?
Obtaining an extra source of income in order to pay off your current mortgage?
Buying a home for a child or family member to live in?
Tailored Mortgage Solutions
- Owner Occupied: In this case, the owner would either live in the property or have a family member live there. Even vacation homes will often fall under this category. Your occupancy status is determined when you apply for a mortgage. While this information can change, ensure that the application is as truthful as possible at the time it is sent in.
- Non-Owner Occupied: Conversely, a property in which the owner does not live is considered non-owner occupied. These can have up to four units before they are treated as commercial properties.
