🏡 Why Invest in a Vacation or Second Property?

  • 💰 Build long-term wealth

  • 🧘 Enjoy personal downtime

  • 🛶 Create lifelong family memories

  • 🏘️ Provide housing for kids in college or aging parents

  • 💼 Use it part-time and Airbnb the rest

Whatever your “why,” I’ll help you figure out the “how.”
 

🔍 How Vacation Property Financing Works
 

Mortgage options for second homes look a little different than your primary residence. Here’s the breakdown:

✔️ Remote or seasonal properties may need 20% or more down

✔️ Non-winterized or off-grid places may come with slightly higher rates

✔️ Mortgage terms depend on whether the property is year-round accessible or seasonal

✔️ Lender criteria vary based on how the property will be used (personal vs. rental)
 

💡 Funding the Down Payment

Need help pulling together the funds? You’ve got options:

  • 💸 Refinance your current mortgage to free up equity

  • 🏡 Use a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)

  • 🔁 Explore reverse mortgage options if you’re 55+ and planning ahead

As your go-to Mortgage Broker in Midland, I’ll walk you through each option and help you decide what makes the most financial sense—without over-complicating things.
 

📋 What You’ll Need to Qualify

Lenders usually want to see:

  • Strong credit

  • Proof of stable income

  • Details about the property (location, access, condition)

  • Whether the home is for personal use, part-time rental, or both
     

And don’t worry—I’ll explain exactly what’s needed and handle all the behind-the-scenes mortgage wrangling for you.
