A growing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties, whether for relaxation, building wealth, or creating family memories. The good news is that there are accessible mortgages available with low rates, even for properties in non-winterized or remote locations. Whether you're looking for a lake cottage or a housing option near a college, you can find the best mortgage to suit your needs. However, it's important to note that the lending criteria for second or third homes differ from those for primary residences. Depending on the type of vacation or secondary home, the down payment requirements can range from 5% to 20% or higher, with different rates being applied. Additionally, the mortgage options available also depend on whether the property is categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal. If you're interested in financing your vacation property, you can explore options such as mortgage refinancing, a home equity line of credit (HELOC), or even a reverse mortgage. Take advantage of the innovative tools available in Canada to simplify the mortgage process and ensure accuracy. For more information and a quick pre-approval process, reach out to us.
