A growing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties, whether for the purpose of relaxation, building wealth, or creating memorable moments with their families. These properties, including non-winterized or remote locations, can be easily financed through accessible mortgages with low rates. Depending on the intended use of the property, such as a lake cottage or college housing option, different lending criteria will apply compared to those for primary residences. While some vacation and secondary homes may only require a 5% or 10% down payment, others, based on their categorization, will require a higher deposit. Additionally, different types of cottages have varying requirements for down payments and interest rates. Mortgage options will also be influenced by whether the property is year-round accessible or seasonal. In order to facilitate down payments, homeowners can utilize methods such as mortgage refinancing, a home equity line of credit (HELOC), or even a reverse mortgage. Canada offers a range of innovative tools to streamline the mortgage process and ensure accuracy.
