Investment property loans, or investment mortgages, are commercial mortgage loans used to acquire or refinance investment real estate. Investment properties are commercial real estate properties which are rented to others and usually generate positive cash flow for their owners. In today’s market, interest paid on bank deposits is very low and many investors are buying investment properties using investment property loans to leverage their purchases.

Investment property loans include:

Apartment building loans - apartment properties are a great way for small and large investors to invest in commercial real estate. In today’s economy, many people are choosing to rent rather than purchase a home. The market for apartment building purchases is very strong and many investors are choosing to buy apartment buildings as investments.

Commercial mortgage loans - other common types of investment property loans are office buildings, retail properties, warehouse and industrial properties and many other types of income producing properties. Many of these properties contain multiple tenants while others might be single tenant properties. Some examples might include a supermarket anchored retail shopping center, a suburban office property, or a single tenant chain drugstore. Regardless of the type, these properties often yield returns that are higher than other current investments.

Portfolios of single family homes – some investors choose to own many single family homes for rental purposes. These investors often find that residential lenders have a maximum number of home loans that they will approve for one borrower. We are able to make one commercial mortgage covering an entire portfolio of these properties.

Two to four unit rental homes – many home lenders will not lend on 2-4 unit rental homes that are owned by a partnership, corporation, LLC or trust. We will consider these rental properties as a commercial loan and will aggressively lend nationwide.
