Purchasing First Property - Financing
I've heard that for your first investment property, it is better to not disclose to the lender that you are actually purchasing an investment property, but to tell them that you are purchasing a primary residence or second home. The thought behind this is attempting to get more favorable loan terms as it relates to interest rate, down payment, etc.
Does anyone have any insight in this area?
