Before you choose

Occupancy rules decide whether it is a second home or an investment property, which changes pricing and down payment.

  • Will this qualify as a second home or an investment property?
  • Can I rent it out part time and keep second home pricing?
  • How do you treat short-term rental income?

How this list is ranked

Specialty evidence carries the most weight (production data, then lender page, then self-reported). Loan officers are listed when a IL license is confirmed with the state regulator (check mark), IL is listed on their lender page, or they work at a bank or credit union (likely federally registered; verify at NMLS). Then branch location, experience (licensed since, per the regulator records we hold) and profile completeness. Disciplinary history is not yet checked by LenDb; verify at NMLS Consumer Access. No paid placement. Methodology.

Same list as JSON: /api/v1/loan-officers?specialty=vacation-home&state=IL. Not a lender. Not a referral service. Verify licenses at NMLS Consumer Access.
