Less debt means more room to cover mortgage payments for your investment property.
Lenders like to know that
you're financially secure enough to cover your payments. In most cases, they want to see at least enough liquid assets to cover 6 months of mortgage payments. However, 12 months puts you in an even better position.
A higher credit score helps you secure a lower down payment and makes you eligible for a
lower rate.
A larger initial down payment means that you'll borrow less money, making you less of a risk to your lender.
