Property Use
Pertaining to residential mortgages and their risk-based pricing methods, the property use is sub-categorized as follows:
- Primary residence,
- Second home,
- Non-owner occupied or investment property
A primary residence is viewed and priced as the lowest risk factor of Property Use. There are no adjustments to pricing or rate.
A second home is viewed and priced according to lender, some will asses the same risk factor as a primary residence while others will factor in a 0.125% to 0.5% pricing increase to mitigate the perceived risk. Lenders perceive that the borrower is less likely to value the second home if the borrower was faced with financial difficulties.
A non-owner occupied property is viewed and priced as the highest risk factor of property use. Lenders will factor in a 0.5% to 2.5% pricing increase to mitigate the perceived risk.
Ask a corresponding mortgage broker, mortgage banker, or retail banker for specific pricing adjustments according to property use.
Famous quotes containing the word property:
“Let’s call something a rigid designator if in every possible world it designates the same object, a non-rigid or accidental designator if that is not the case. Of course we don’t require that the objects exist in all possible worlds.... When we think of a property as essential to an object we usually mean that it is true of that object in any case where it would have existed. A rigid designator of a necessary existent can be called strongly rigid.”
—Saul Kripke (b. 1940)
