Investment Property Mortgage Solutions for Florida Real Estate Investors
Real estate investing starts with the right financing strategy.
Whether you are buying your first rental property or expanding your portfolio, Viva Casa Mortgage Solutions helps you explore mortgage options designed around your investment goals.
Financing for Your Next Real Estate Investment
Investment property loans can be different from primary residence loans. Lenders may review your credit, income, debts, down payment, property type, reserves, and potential rental income.
For certain loan scenarios, rental income may be used to help qualify when it is properly documented and meets applicable guidelines. Fannie Mae’s selling guide explains that rental income from a subject investment property may be used when the borrower meets the required documentation and calculation guidelines.

Can rental income help me qualify?
In some cases, yes. Rental income may be considered when it is properly documented and allowed by the loan program. The required documentation can vary depending on whether the property is already rented, newly purchased, or listed on your tax returns.
Do investment properties require a larger down payment?
Often, yes. Investment properties can require a larger down payment than primary residences because lenders view them differently. The exact requirement depends on the loan program, borrower profile, property type, and lender guidelines.
Are interest rates different for investment properties?
They can be. Investment property loans may have different rates, fees, or pricing adjustments compared to primary residence loans. We help you compare options so you can understand the full cost.
Can I refinance an investment property?
Yes, qualified borrowers may be able to refinance an investment property to adjust the loan terms, lower the payment, or access equity, depending on eligibility and available equity.
