Second Home Mortgages in the Pocono Mountains
Delaware Water Gap is one of the Pocono Mountains communities where NJ buyers most commonly purchase second homes — close enough for a Friday evening drive, with access to the National Recreation Area right from the property. A second home mortgage applies when you will occupy the property for part of the year, it is at least 50 miles from your primary residence, and the purchase does not require rental income to qualify. Second home rates sit modestly above primary residence rates and require less down than full investment property financing. If you plan to rent the property out substantially, DSCR financing is the more suitable loan type. Lena Polnet evaluates your occupancy plans and recommends the right structure before you apply.
