Labeling a property a "second home" does not automatically match a lender's classification. The intended use and frequency of occupancy are critical factors that impact mortgage classification, eligibility, insurance, and tax implications. For example, properties rented for more than 180 days a year are typically considered investment properties, which can significantly change their financing terms.

Understanding these distinctions is essential before making an offer.

Not every outdoor upgrade needs to be complicated. Granite slab fire pits are built without mortar, using only a dug footing, compacted gravel for drainage, and carefully placed stones. This makes them easy to modify or remove later. For properties where outdoor entertaining is a draw, these fire pits are a durable option worth considering.

Would you add a fire pit to a rental property?

Proof of insurance is one of the most common reasons a rental property loan stalls right before closing, and it's usually not because the borrower lacks coverage; it's the wrong coverage.
