You refinance your own home, that’s what you do!  The reason why you do this is because it’s cheaper money.  The interest rate on a non-owner-occupied (investment) property is usually about one-half of a percent higher!  That’s a big difference in monthly payments.

One of the reasons that banks charge less for owner-occupied loans is because they know that you will take better care of a home if you own it.  Makes sense to me and it makes sense the them.  If I can help you with any of your finance questions, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me at (805) 585-2326 or jay.b.friedman@chase.com.
