Yes — conventional loans are a common way to finance a vacation or second home. Expect a larger down payment than a primary residence, stricter reserves, and clear occupancy intent that the home is not an investment rental.
Lenders treat second homes differently from primary residences and investment properties — occupancy is the key.
Second-home underwriting focuses on capacity — two housing payments and proof the home is for you.
These are the situations we see most often with conventional second-home financing.
Get occupancy, down payment, and reserves aligned before you write an offer.
