The number of Canadians investing in vacation properties is on the rise, as these properties provide opportunities for relaxation, wealth-building, and quality family time. Mortgage options for vacation properties are accessible and offer low rates, even for properties that are not winterized or located in remote areas. Whether you are looking for a lake cottage or a housing option near a college, there are mortgages available to suit your needs. It's important to note that different lending criteria apply to second or third homes compared to primary residences, and certain categories of vacation and secondary homes require higher down payments. The type of property, whether year-round accessible or seasonal, also affects the mortgage options available. To help with down payments, there are options such as mortgage refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgages. Canada also offers innovative tools to streamline the mortgage process and ensure accuracy.
