Discover the Stability of Long-Term Rentals for Home Security

If you want to own an investment property that you plan to rent to tenants for many years to come, consider a Long Term Rental (LTR) loan.

LTR loans provide financing with competitively low interest rates based on rental cash flow. This makes financing more accessible than standard loans, which base financing on factors such as investor’s personal income.

What is an LTR Loan?

There are a handful of options to finance investment property. Loan types often differ based on their qualification requirements and the terms they offer. The best loan for you will depend on your individual needs. 

With an LTR loan you can qualify for a mortgage that will finance a non-owner occupied rental property you plan to manage with tenants for the long term. 

As a non-QM (non-qualifying mortgage) an LTR loan provides competitively low interest rates. This is possible because it relies on the property being worth a certain value in rent-ready condition. It’s ideal for investors who primarily make their income from rent, rather than fixing and flipping property, and for those who plan to manage the property for many years to come.

Financing takes into consideration the cash flow you’ll get from the property as well as the condition and value of the property itself. Tax returns aren’t required to qualify and debt-to-income ratios aren’t needed. You also have the option to apply as a corporate identity, rather than being individually tied to the property and the loan.

LTR Loan Requirements to Meet

These are some of the common requirements often needed to qualify for an LTR loan. If you have questions about these requirements, we’re here to help.

• We’ll need to know what the expected leverage is for the property, whether the loan is for a purchase or refinance. In many cases, the Loan-to-Value ratio needs to be above 70-75%.
• If applying as a corporate entity, we need LLC documentation including Articles of Incorporation, Employer Identification Number, and an Operating Agreement.
• We don’t need income information but do need the last three months of bank statements.
• A valid Driver’s License is required for the borrower.
• Rent roll/proof of rents is needed to show rents that are due and rents that have been collected.
• You’ll also need to provide contact information for insurance, title/escrow, and a point of contact for an inspection/Broker Price Opinion for the property.
• The property needs to be in a condition that is rent-ready, rather than needing renovations.
