It is true that the process of buying a residential home and an Airbnb rental property is a little different. First and foremost, it is always good for local communities when the residents are also homeowners.

These programs tend to be a little more forgiving when applicants have lower credit scores, bigger debt-to-income ratios, and even lower incomes.
