An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties, offering an escape for relaxation, the potential for wealth-building, and opportunities for memorable family moments. The accessibility of mortgages with low rates is making it easier for individuals to purchase vacation properties, even in non-winterized or remote locations. Whether it be a lake cottage or a college housing option, there are options for finding the best mortgage to suit various purposes. It's important to note that different lending criteria apply to second or third homes compared to primary residences. While some vacation and secondary homes may qualify for a minimum down payment of 5% or 10%, others, depending on their category, may require a down payment of 20% or more. Mortgage options depend on the type of property, such as whether it is categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal. Down payments can be incorporated through mortgage refinancing, Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), or reverse mortgage. To ensure a smooth and accurate process, Canadians can take advantage of innovative tools available in the country.
