Vacation Homes

An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties for various purposes. These getaway homes offer a chance for relaxation, wealth-building, and precious family moments. The good news is that there are accessible mortgages available, even for non-winterized or remote locations, with low rates specifically designed for vacation properties. Whether you are searching for a lake cottage or a college housing option, you can find the best mortgage to suit your needs. However, it's important to note that lending criteria for second or third homes differ from those for primary residences. While some vacation and secondary homes may qualify for a minimum down payment of 5% or 10%, certain categories may require a higher down payment of 20% or more. Additionally, different types of cottages have their own requirements and may receive different treatment from lenders. Mortgage options also depend on the property's classification as year-round accessible or seasonal. If you require assistance with down payments, you can explore options such as mortgage refinancing, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), or a reverse mortgage. In Canada, there are innovative tools available to streamline processes and ensure accuracy.
