It&rsquo;s different than financing a primary home. We lend on a wide variety of rural properties, knowing that it&rsquo;s always important that a property have several things in place &ndash; clear access and a reputable appraisal.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>Q: Will I have to put money down for a loan on a recreational property?<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Garrett: We will certainly want to have money down to make a loan. The amount the borrower puts down often depends on the size of the loan. Many buyers will put 50 percent down, while 30 percent is considered a considerable down payment. For us, 20 percent is usually a starting place.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Q: What if you want to finance improvements to the property as part of the loan?<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Garrett: There often can be ways to do that. As a hypothetical example, let&rsquo;s say someone is getting an $80,000 property and they say they can put half down, $40,000. We may work it out where they keep $20,000 of that to put into improvements that will increase the value of the property.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Q: What kind of rate can I expect to pay?<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Garrett: That will depend on the quality of your credit, and how much you put down.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Q: Is the loan process complicated for financing a recreational property?<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div>Garrett: It&rsquo;s not a complicated process. One thing that can help it go very smoothly is to get a letter of credit from a lender before you pick out a property. This ties into how it&rsquo;s a good idea to talk to the lender before you get too far down the road on buying a property.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<div>\nThis can be very helpful. For example, you may think you need to pay something else off before you buy a property to help your credit situation, when it may be better to put that money into a down payment on the property.\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/contact.phpwww.contact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The PotlatchDeltic Preferred Broker in your area<\/a> can recommend quality lending options for you to consider as you start the process of getting your dream property.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnwcu.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2016 size-medium alignleft img-fluid\" src=\"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Freedom-NW-Credit-Union-logo-300x110.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Freedom-NW-Credit-Union-logo-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Freedom-NW-Credit-Union-logo.png 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\"><\/a><em>Garrett and his team of lenders is ready to help PotlatchDeltic buyers in Idaho.&nbsp; Interested buyers who want to get pre-financed can call Teresa Childs at Freedom Northwest Credit Union at 866-687-5228.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many buyers, getting financing for their recreational property purchase makes a lot of sense. &ldquo;Some buyers don&rsquo;t want to tie up too much money in a property right away,&rdquo; says Scott Garrett, CEO of Freedom Northwest Credit Union, which has provided financing for a number of PotlatchDeltic property buyers in Idaho. &ldquo;And for many&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/financing-options-for-rural-land-purchases\/\">more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Financing Options for Rural Land Purchases<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[8,19,12],"tags":[460,577,578,412,21,529,579],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2015"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2023,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2015\/revisions\/2023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potlatchdelticlandsales.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
