An increasing number of Canadians are investing in vacation properties to enjoy relaxation, build wealth, and create family memories. Accessible mortgages with competitive rates are available for various vacation homes, including non-winterized or remote locations, though lending criteria differ from primary residences. Depending on the type and use of the property—such as lake cottages or college housing—down payments can range from as low as 5% or 10% to 20% or more, reflecting their classification and lender requirements. Mortgage options vary based on whether the property is year-round accessible or seasonal, and down payments can be managed through refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgages.
