An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties for various reasons, such as relaxation, wealth-building, and family moments. Even for non-winterized or remote locations, accessible mortgages with low rates are available for these vacation properties. Whether it's a lake cottage or a college housing option, Canadians can find the best mortgage to suit their needs. It's important to note that the lending criteria for second or third homes are different compared to primary residences. Depending on the type of vacation or secondary home, the down payment required can range from a minimum of 5% or 10% to 20% or higher. Cottages also have different requirements, with certain types needing higher down payments and receiving higher rates. Mortgage options are determined by whether the property is categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal. Down payments can be incorporated through mortgage refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgage.
