More Canadians are investing in vacation properties to enjoy relaxation, create family memories, and build wealth. Affordable mortgage options with low rates are available even for non-winterized or remote vacation homes, such as lake cottages or college housing. While lending criteria differ from those for primary residences, many vacation and secondary homes qualify for down payments as low as 5% or 10%, though some require 20% or more, depending on property type and accessibility—year-round or seasonal. Financing can also involve mortgage refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgages. Innovative Canadian tools simplify applications and improve accuracy.
