How do I get a 2nd mortgage loan for a vacation home

I want to buy a 2nd home for vacations for my family in Colorado. We visit several times a year and I feel that it would be less expensive to just purchase a 2nd home there. I have good credit at 695 and my current mortgage payments have all been on time. What do I need to do to explore getting a new loan for a 2nd house? by robert_999_271 from Topeka, Kansas.

It's no different than applying for any other mortgage.. You will still need to have sufficient credit, income, payment history, down payment, and required reserves. The best advice I can give you is to contact a LOCAL mortgage broker in Colorado, not the local "Big" bank, and certainly not one of those 50 states internet lenders...By applying with your LOCAL Broker, you have an advantage because he's familiar with local customs and works with numerous lenders, seeking out the best loan terms for your particular scenario. Because he has lower overhead, he can offer you lower rates and lower fees than most of the larger lenders.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona. If you or someone you know is looking for financing options, feel free to contact me or pass along my information. 480-287-5714 WilliamAcres.com

Getting a second home loan is the same as a primary home. As long as qualify, the only "difference" is that you will need at least 10% down payment, and the home needs to be a reasonable distance from your primary home.
