An increasing number of Canadians are investing in vacation properties to enjoy relaxation, build wealth, and create lasting family memories. Mortgage options for these getaway homes, including lake cottages and college housing, are accessible with low rates, even for non-winterized or remote locations. Unlike primary residences, second and third homes face different lending criteria, often requiring down payments ranging from 5% to over 20%, depending on the property type and seasonality. Certain cottages may need higher down payments and rates. Financing can include mortgage refinancing, HELOCs, or reverse mortgages.
