Can my vacation home be 45 minutes away if it’s at the beach? Or does that look suspicious? I want to get in for 10% down and lower rate than an investment home

Assuming my DTI can handle it of course

It will be at your lender's discretion, and it may behoove you to go with someone local who knows the area/appeal of your second home location. You'll likely have to write a letter of explanation, but I've seen similar situations before.

Yup beach locations are easy to make it a vacation home
