Property Use
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Property Use
Pertaining to residential mortgages and their risk based pricing methods, the Property Use is sub-categorized as follows: Primary residence, Second home, Non-Owner Occupied or Investment Property
A Primary residence is viewed and priced as the lowest risk factor of Property Use. There are no adjustments to pricing or rate.
A Second home is viewed and priced according to lender, some will asses the same risk factor as a Primary Residence while others will factor in a .125% to .5% pricing increase to mitigate the perceived risk. Lenders perceive that the borrower is less likely to value the Second home if the borrower was faced with financial difficulties.
A Non-Owner Occupied property is viewed and priced as the highest risk factor of Property Use. Lenders will factor in a .5% to 2.5% pricing increase to mitigate the perceived risk.
Ask a corresponding Mortgage broker, Mortgage Banker, or Retail Banker for specific pricing adjustments according to Property Use.
