What Are Investment Property Loans?

An investment property loan finances a home you intend to rent out or hold for appreciation rather than live in yourself. Because the property isn't your primary residence, lenders evaluate it differently than an owner-occupied purchase — typically with a larger down payment and closer attention to reserves — but the financing itself works the same way a conventional purchase loan does: a fixed monthly payment amortizing over the loan term.

Saffron Premier Mortgage offers conventional investment property financing, underwritten against your personal income and debt-to-income ratio like a standard purchase loan. It's available for single-family rentals, small multifamily, and other non-owner-occupied properties across Washington, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas.

Benefits & Use Cases

Grow Your Portfolio Over Time

Conventional investment financing supports buying multiple rental properties over time, each underwritten against your income and existing debt obligations.

1–4 Unit and Small Multifamily Eligible

Finance single-family rentals, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and warrantable condos held as investment property.

Fast Closings Help You Compete on Deals

In competitive investment markets, a lender that can close in under 10 days is a real advantage when negotiating with a motivated seller.

One Dedicated Loan Officer

You work with the same loan officer from application through closing — not a rotating call center — someone who understands investor timelines and 1031 exchange deadlines.

Low Lender Fees, Low Closing Costs

Every dollar you don't spend on unnecessary lender fees is a dollar that stays in your investment's return.

General Information

A loan officer can review your income, existing debt, and target property to confirm what you qualify for and answer any questions on the same call — no guesswork required.

Every loan we originate runs through a low-cost structure: no unnecessary lender fees, meaningful closing-cost savings, and closings in as few as 10 days — backed by competitive, industry-leading pricing and a dedicated loan officer instead of a call center.
