With an increasing number of Canadians investing in vacation properties for relaxation, wealth-building, and family moments, accessible mortgages with low rates are available even for non-winterized or remote locations. Different lending criteria apply to second or third homes compared to primary residences, with some vacation and secondary homes qualifying for a minimum of 5% or 10% down payment, while others may require 20% or higher. Certain types of cottages also require a higher down payment and receive higher rates. Mortgage options depend on the property type, categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal, and down payments can be incorporated via mortgage refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgage.
