Make a fair comparison
Understand the rate you’re looking at.
A rental property mortgage is priced and qualified differently from an owner-occupied purchase. Expect at least 20% down for a conventional rental purchase, lender-specific treatment of rent and expenses, and pricing that may differ by property type, unit count, portfolio size, amortization, and documentation. Compare the rate only after the same rental assumptions are applied to every lender.
Compare mortgage pricing for a true rental scenario, not an owner-occupied headline rate.
Start with property use, down payment, amortization, rental income, expenses, and portfolio context before judging the lender offer.

- Rate, cash flow, amortization, fees, and portfolio flexibility
Rental qualification is a lender-policy comparison
Lenders can use different rental worksheets, vacancy assumptions, expense allowances, lease evidence, and add-back or offset methods. The same property and borrower can therefore produce different qualifying results before the rate is considered.
Model the subject property's real rent, taxes, heat, strata fees, financing, and operating costs. For an existing portfolio, include every mortgage and the documents needed to support each lease and expense.
Price the mortgage against the investment plan
A low rate can be a poor fit if the lender restricts future equity access, charges an expensive break penalty, or makes the next acquisition harder. Term length, charge structure, prepayment rights, and portfolio policy belong in the same decision.
Stress-test the property with higher rates, realistic vacancy, repairs, and conservative rent growth. The mortgage should support the investment thesis without requiring perfect conditions.

Clear answers
Before you decide
Are rental property mortgage rates higher?+
They can be. Pricing depends on loan-to-value, property type, amortization, borrower strength, lender policy, and whether the mortgage fits an insurable or uninsured pricing bucket.
How much down payment is required for a rental property?+
A conventional one-to-four-unit rental purchase generally starts at 20% down, but lender and property rules can require more. Owner-occupied multi-unit properties follow different rules.
How do lenders use rental income?+
Methods vary. A lender may use a portion of gross rent, subtract operating expenses, or offset housing costs. The lease, appraisal market rent, tax returns, and portfolio details may all affect the calculation.
