An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties, whether it be for relaxation, wealth-building, or creating lasting family memories. Fortunately, there are accessible mortgages available with low rates, even for properties that may not be winterized or in remote locations. Whether you are interested in purchasing a lake cottage or a housing option for college, there are various mortgage options to suit your needs. It's important to note that second or third homes have different lending criteria compared to primary residences, with some vacation and secondary homes requiring a minimum down payment of 5% or 10%, while others require 20% or more. Additionally, different types of cottages have different requirements, such as higher down payments and rates. Depending on the property type, whether it's year-round accessible or seasonal, there are different mortgage options available. To help with down payments, you can incorporate them through mortgage refinancing, a home equity line of credit (HELOC), or even a reverse mortgage.
