Aside from the amount of down payment a borrower must put down on a Conventional Loan, there is not a requirement for the borrower to live in the home.  Therefore a conventional loan is a common way for an investor to finance their real estate investment property in San Jacinto, CA.   Down payments typically range in value from 10% of the purchase price up to 25%.  The greater the down payment the better the interest rate of the loan for the investment property.
