An increasing number of Canadians are investing in vacation properties for relaxation, wealth-building, and memorable family time. Accessible mortgages with competitive rates are available even for non-winterized or remote locations, catering to various purposes such as lake cottages or college housing. Lending criteria differ for second or third homes compared to primary residences, with down payments ranging from as low as 5–10% to 20% or more depending on the type of vacation or secondary home. Mortgage options vary based on whether properties are year-round accessible or seasonal, and down payments can be incorporated through refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgages.
