Frequently Asked Questions

When will I need a property occupancy letter?

Your loan officer will request a property occupancy letter if there's uncertainty about how you plan to use the property.

What's the difference between primary, second home, and investment property?

A primary residence is the home where you live most of the time. A second home is a property you use for vacations or visits, not as your main home. An investment property is a home you buy to rent out to tenants for income.

Can I change my mind about property use after closing?

You must use the property as stated initially. Changing use may violate loan terms and could result in loan default.
