A growing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties for relaxation, wealth-building, and family time. Accessible mortgages with low rates are available for various types of vacation homes, including non-winterized or remote locations such as lake cottages or college housing options. Lending criteria differ for second or third homes compared to primary residences, with some properties requiring a minimum of 5% or 10% down payment while others may need 20% or more. Different types of cottages may have varying down payment requirements and receive different treatment from lenders based on whether they are categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal properties. Home financing options can include incorporating down payments through mortgage refinancing, Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), or reverse mortgage. Taking advantage of innovative tools in Canada can help streamline the mortgage process and ensure accuracy.
