What is better when it comes to a loan for STR, MTR, 2nd home/vacation home?
It's easy to go with conventional as most are versed in that product yet there are so many other options out there. It seems the few lenders I've spoken with all want to direct to conventional vs anything else. Is it because of their commissions, the risks or what? And what type of loan product have you found to be the best for the above scenarios?
