This 30 Year Fixed/15 Year Fixed program is only utilized if you owned more than 6 financed properties (not including commercial property). You can hold between 7-10 financed properties in total. You would only be purchasing or refinancing an investment property or second home. If you are refinancing your primary residence, it does not matter how many financed properties you have. You can apply for the Conforming financing without adhering to the stricter multiple property program.
Tips
- Empire will suggest, at times, that just one partner/spouse apply for an investment property mortgage, knowing that you are limited as an individual to 10 financed properties total (in the conventional lending space). Strategically, you could work to achieve 10 each, between you and your partner/spouse. This allows you to maximize the 10 financed property holdings per person and achieve the best rates possible (conventional).
- Usually, pricing on this program will mimic the conforming/super conforming interest rate pricing. Please do check with us, however, as this can change. Our pricing engine will not give you this pricing directly.
