Can loans secured by investment properties, second/vacation homes, mobile homes, and HELOCs be included as qualified collateral?
These types of loans can be eligible collateral. In order to be accepted as collateral they are subject to individual review by the Bank. These loan types cannot be part of the blanket pledge of owner-occupied 1-4 family loans. Non-owner occupied and investment loans typically receive a 50 percent haircut. Please contact the Collateral Department at (617) 292-9711 for information regarding the Bank’s procedure for pledging these types of collateral.
