It depends on your loan-to-value, but at 75% LTV figure 1/8 to 1/4% higher.

If your talking FHA won't be a difference.If your talking Freddie Mac then there may be a slight difference in rate. It really depends on entire loan scenario.

could be more significant difference if the property will be considered an "investment" or rental property, also depending on your credit score. You cannot get FHA financing usually for any home you will not be occupying unless they are offering special financing for a home they own. Keep in mind that downpayment requirements are higher for investment property as well (15-20% minimum). A vacation home (generally more than 50 miles from your primary home) the rate is the same but downpayment is 10% or more.

Hi Linda, Non-Owner Occupied interest rates are slightly higher than Owner-Occupied interest rates. If you are just Co-Signing as a Non-Occupant Borrower than there would be no difference in the rate. If you have additional questions or would like a few loan scenarios please call me at 303-521-7169 or email at loanofficerseanyoung@gmail.com or visit me at my office at 7000 E Belleview Ave #200, Greenwood Village, CO

If you live in the home, and something goes wrong financially versus an investment property... Which home are you more likely to care about? Obviously this is the home you live in. because of the additional risk, a home you do not live in comes at a higher interest rate.

It depends on whether you talking about an investment property or are you talking about being a non-occupant co borrower/ co signer for someone else... if it's an investment, then yes.. investor loans are inherently more risky, and because of that, they charge a higher interest rate and require larger down payments.. if your talking about co signing for someone, but you have no intent on living in the property yourself, then this scenario is still considered a owner occupied loan since the person your co signing for must live in the property.. this loan would have no difference in the interest rate..

When the property qualifies for a fannie mae or freddie mac conventional loan there is at leasta 1.75% of the loan amount increase in cost for the nonoccupant or investment purchase. That could translate into half a point higher in interest rate for the same cost as for the primary occupant purchase loan.
