Vacation Homes

An increasing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties for various reasons such as relaxation, wealth-building, and family moments. These properties, even if they are non-winterized or located in remote areas, can be financed through accessible mortgages with low interest rates. Whether you're looking for a lake cottage or a housing option near college, there are different mortgage options available to suit your needs. However, it's important to note that lending criteria for second or third homes differ from primary residences. While some vacation and secondary homes may require a minimum down payment of 5% or 10%, others may require 20% or higher depending on their categorization and treatment by lenders. Different types of cottages also have varying requirements, with certain types requiring higher down payments and receiving higher interest rates. The mortgage options available to you also depend on whether the property is categorized as year-round accessible or seasonal. Additionally, down payments can be incorporated via mortgage refinancing, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), or a reverse mortgage. To take advantage of these opportunities, Canada offers innovative tools that streamline processes and ensure accuracy.
