A question I am often asked has to do with the balance of using a home and renting a home when looking to buy in the LBI real estate market. Lending laws do permite a certain number of weeks to be rented in a home and still qualify for second home financing. Therefore, it is best to discuss your plans with your lender to make sure you fit the criteria for a second home loan and not an investment loan.

Second Home Mortgages on Long Beach Island New Jersey

Second home loans follow some basic criteria that all potential buyer should be aware of. They are:

  • Second home loans will typically require a minimum of a 20% down payment
  • For most buyers, there will be both fixed rate and variable-rate products available
  • The interest on a second home loan may be tax-deductible which can help to offset the cost of the loan

Unlike a mortgage for a primary residence, most second home loans work will require a minimum of 20% down payment. In the primary mortgage market, there are special products that will allow for low or 0% down payments… But these are not intended to be used for a vacation home or investment property. Recently there have been some banks that allow for a 10% down payment but these will usually carry PMI and may be more expensive.

There are a number of mortgage products available to those looking to purchase a second home in the Long Beach Island real estate market. The most common utilized second home mortgage is a conventional 30 year fixed rate loan however there are variable-rate products and interest only loans available as well. Typically, these variable-rate or interest only loan products will be used for buyers who are looking to build a speculative real estate portfolio or maybe planning to tear the home down and rebuild  in the next few years.

Depending on your individual financial situation, the interest on a second home loan may be tax-deductible. In fact, some buyers purchase a second home for this tax deduction on the advice of their accountants. If a home will be rented as an investment property, it is possible in the second home interest may not be tax-deductible, so it is important to consult an attorney and an accountant to understand your unique situation.
