Investment Property Loan FAQs

An investment property loan allows you to purchase real estate to rent out for additional income or flip for a profit. They generally have higher interest rates and stricter lending requirements than standard mortgages.

The main qualifying factors for securing an investment property loan are:

  • Employment history: You must show proof of verified employment for a minimum of two years.
  • Credit score: Your credit score will determine your down payment, rate, and ability to be approved. Most lenders require a minimum credit score of 620 to qualify, and a credit score of 720 or higher will get you the best rates.
  • Debt to Income ratio (DTI): Your DTI is determined by dividing your gross monthly income by your total monthly debts. A DTI of 36% or less is ideal; anything above 50% may prevent you from qualifying.
  • Down payment: You should be prepared to put down 20%-25% of the purchase price for an investment property loan. 
Depending on your credit, a down payment of at least 20% is required for an investment property loan.
An investment property is a real estate purchase made to generate income through rental income or appreciation and is not the investor's primary residence.

The three types of investment properties are:

  • Residential: The most common form of investment property, these properties are purchased to rent out to tenants and earn monthly rentals. These can include single-family homes, apartments, condominiums, or townhomes.
  • Commercial: These are properties purchased for business purposes, such as office space, retail stores, restaurants, etc. The investor may purchase an already existing property or develop from the ground up.
  • Mixed-use: These properties can be used simultaneously for residential and commercial purposes. For instance, the ground level may be used for retail shops and the upper floors for residential units.

A minimum loan amount of $175,000 is required to apply. Exceptions include mortgage products for properties located within the Greater Kansas City metro and surrounding areas. Contact a NASB Loan Officer for details on the excluded areas and/or zip codes.
