A growing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties for relaxation, wealth-building, and family bonding. Accessible mortgages with low rates are available for various types of vacation properties, including non-winterized or remote locations. Different lending criteria apply to second or third homes compared to primary residences, with some properties requiring a minimum down payment of 5% or 10%, while others may need 20% or higher. Different types of cottages have varying requirements, with certain types necessitating a higher down payment and receiving 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.
