If I'm buying a condo that is not going to be my place of living what loan do I use?

You have a few options. You may want to purchase the condo as a 2nd Home or Investment property, or you can refinance you existing home, and pull out enough cash to by the condo for Cash.

You will go with a conventional loan again, it will be considered your second home. You will need to put 10% down

Conventional is likely your best bet, but another option would be to do a cash out refinance on your current home and use the cash to purchase the rental.

You have to properly disclose your occupancy intentions upon applying for a loan.. if you are going to use the property as part time vacation home, and part time vacation rental, then it's considered a rental, and you must disclose your intent is to purchase it as an investment property.. Loan pricing is slightly higher, and you must put 20% or more down.. Per the guidelines, if you intend to rent the home for 1 day a year, it's considered an investment property and you would be subject to investor guidelines.. If you do a "Cash Out" refinance on your existing home, then you can use the proceeds for anything you wish without restrictions.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

Borrow enough on your owner-occupied property, to pay cash for the investment property.

You would get a conventional investment loan if you plan on renting it out at all. You would need to put down at least 20% and if you can put down 25% or greater for better loan terms. However, you would get the best terms by doing a cash out refinance on your current home and buying the new property out right. Like any loan you should get pre-approved first. Talk with a local loan officer and have them review your application, credit, finance and assets. They will give you all of your loan options to help you decide what is the best loan for your needs.
