|
|
When an individual buys a single family home for investment purposes, a lender will treat that differently than if a home is being purchased to serve as a personal full-time residence for the buyer. Buying a single-family residence as an investment property does not involve working with a commercial lender, and the mortgage is not treated as a commercial loan.A common standard is for there to be five units or more to be classified as a commercial mortgage. In some limited cases, a buyer purchasing five or more single-family homes (for rental purposes) that are located contiguously could qualify for commercial real estate financing if certain conditions are met.
