What Affects Rental Property Interest Rates?

Aurum and Sharpe was founded in 2017 by me, Bryan Hanley, and one of my best friends, Rudy Renelique. After many years working at big banks like Chase, and Wells Fargo, we decided we could bring value to a mortgage market that was starving for independent thinkers. So we started Aurum and Sharpe over a phone call about financing a multi-family deal in Brooklyn. Since starting this business we’ve been on many adventures from financing a $20 million portfolio of single families, to meeting the President of Rwanda and Finance Minister of Namibia.

Rudy has gone on to start his own firm, Overture Capital, while I’ve stayed on to grow Aurum and Sharpe. Aurum is the original Latin word for gold (that’s why the periodic table has it listed at Au). We chose it because we think of our word as “as good as Gold.” And in that vein, we want to add value to every customer we come in contact with. Our promise is that by working with us, you will increase your Freedom, Purpose, and Fulfillment.

Our process includes learning your overall objectives and where you want to go in your life so that we make sure your financing enhances your life and gets you to your destination much faster. What that means though, is that we are not like every other broker on the street that will only do a surface level amount of learning about you, your life, and your motivations. For us, that is Gold. We want to learn how we can tailor your financing so that you thrive in your life! So before we talk about rates, terms, or anything else, we are going to try and figure out how to add value through financing.

We know this approach isn’t for everyone. But if this resonates with you, lets talk: 917 475 6207

Investing in rental properties is an approach that can develop into an income that produces long-term wealth. The interest rate is one notable distinction; it is usually higher. Even if financing a home dwelling is simpler than qualifying for a loan for an investment property and its potential rental income. Understanding home loan finance is essential whether you’re planning to buy your first investment property or already have a portfolio of homes. Mortgages for rental properties have higher rates and stricter criteria than mortgages for your permanent dwelling. Just like with permanent residences, interest rates on mortgages for investment properties change over time. Generally, interest rates for homes purchased as investments are greater than those purchased for personal use. This is because banks view investment properties as having a manageable level of risk. For this reason, not all banks will […]
