The second home loan is a loan where you agree to live in the home for a minimum of 14 days.Living in a rental property for more than 14 days as personal use can potentially disquality you from taking losses against other forms of income.It is true that you can at the time of applying for the mortgage attend to stay in the property for 14+ days but actually only stay a few amount of days.Best of luck.

He is a great and patient teacher, and after his 1-day class found thru my local Cincinnati REIA, and attending his 4-day bootcamp, my team is now seeking 30-50 unit buildings just to get started.
