Financing a Second Home Loan

Whether you’re looking for views of the mountains, easy access to a lake or a cabin for hunting season, Rural 1st has a second home loan to meet your needs.

Get Started

Home Away From Home

Whatever your dream, we’re here to bring it to life.

Owning a second home in the country is like having a vacation at your fingertips. If you live in the city and are looking for an occasional escape from urban life or you’d just like some extra land for your hobbies like hunting and fishing, a second home is a place to step back, unwind and slow down.

Lower rates for less

Choose your builder

While other lenders ask you to work with a builder they prefer, we let you choose your own. And our digital tool lets you manage your build in real-time with your contractor and Rural 1st team.

One-time close

We like to make things easy for you. Other lenders may require you to take out a construction loan and then refinance into a regular mortgage, but Rural 1st can help you go from construction to a permanent loan with one simple package.
