# 13: How to Choose the BEST Mortgage Option with Brenna Carles
When it comes to short-term rentals and Airbnb, choosing the right mortgage can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this episode, I’m joined by Brenna Carles, co-founder & CEO of The Mortgage Shop, who explains the various types of loans for those investing in short-term rentals. Brenna provides insights into the best mortgage loans for those with a low down payment and helps us understand the difference between mortgage preapproval and prequalification. She also shares tips for keeping your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio low.
Brenna started The Mortgage Shop because she was frustrated with how difficult it was to find a loan when she wanted to buy an investment property herself. She has since helped numerous real estate investors find their dream homes.
With Brenna’s expertise, you can gain a better understanding of the different mortgage options available for short-term rentals and Airbnb hosts. You’ll also learn about strategies that can help you secure the best loan for your needs, even if you have a low down payment.
