An increasing number of Canadians are investing in vacation properties as a way to relax, build wealth, and create family memories. Accessible mortgages with competitive rates are available for various types of vacation homes, including non-winterized and remote locations. Lending criteria differ between primary residences and second or third homes, with down payment requirements ranging from as low as 5% to 20% or more depending on the property type, such as year-round accessible cottages versus seasonal ones. Financing options also include refinancing, HELOCs, or reverse mortgages. Utilizing Canada’s innovative mortgage tools can streamline the application process, so contact a specialist for detailed information and fast pre-approval.
