Investment Property?
An investment property can be anything from a single-family home to a large commercial property.

If you are planning to live in one of the units, a minimum down payment of 5% is required. For a down payment of less than 20%, you can have a 25 years maximum amortization period. If you have 20% or more, your maximum amortization period can be 35 years.

for an Investment Property Mortgage?
Now let's talk about whether or not you qualify for an investment property mortgage.
In order to qualify for an investment property mortgage, you will need to have a good credit score and a stable income. You will also need to have a down payment of at least 20% of the purchase price. Your nonrental income can also be a factor in your eligibility.
It is also important to note that investment property mortgages are considered to be riskier than traditional mortgages. As such, you may be required to pay a higher interest rate.
Requirements you need to fulfill
When it comes to securing financing for a real estate project, there are a number of factors to consider. First, you'll need to decide which type of lender is right for you. Each type of lender has its own unique set of requirements, so it's important to do your research before approaching any potential lenders. Private lenders, for example, may simply require a relationship with the borrower. Hard money lenders, on the other hand, may only require a hot real estate market and a good estimated after-repair value (ARV). Home equity loans, home equity line of credit (HELOC), and conventional loan lenders will have the strictest requirements in terms of income and credit scores.Networth note
Networth requirement varies from one lender to another. While many lending institutions do not have minimum net worth requirements, some do. Have at least $100,000 in liquid assets to qualify for an investment property mortgage.Down payment
For investment properties, you'll need a larger down payment than you would for a primary residence -- usually 20% to 30%. Putting down a larger down payment, having good credit, and having steady income records, you'll likely qualify for more favorable terms and lower interest rates on your investment property mortgage.Mortgage do for you?
