Investment Property & Mid-Term Rental Loans

Financing for rental and investment properties — including mid-term rental investor lending when the property and lease model fit investor guidelines. Down payment, reserves, and rate differ from owner-occupied financing; we underwrite the real rental story, not a best-case spreadsheet.

Short answer

Investment property loans finance homes you will not occupy as your primary residence — including long-term rentals and mid-term rental investor lending when the property and lease model fit investor guidelines. Down payment, reserves, and rate differ from owner-occupied financing in Concord, Charlotte/Mecklenburg, Cabarrus County, and across North Carolina.

FAQ

Do you finance mid-term rentals?

When the property, lease structure, and available investor programs align, yes. We confirm documentation needs before you underwrite a business plan on hope.

Can I use FHA for an investment property?

FHA is for primary residences (with limited exceptions such as certain house-hacking multi-unit purchases you will occupy). Pure investment usually needs conventional or investor products.
