What if you buy a vacation property/second home and a couple of years down the road decide to rent it out - does it affect your mortgage?

Michelle,
Heather is somewhat incorrect. On the Disclosure Notices enclosed in your RESPA package you only acknowledge that you already occupy the property or intend to within the next 60 days.
You may buy the property as your primary and rest easy.

Hi Michelle - It depends on the type of mortgage you have, but most mortgages have a 1-3 year clause as far as how long you must occupy to claim as a primary residence and have it not affect your interest rate.
