An increasing number of Canadians are investing in vacation properties for relaxation, wealth-building, and family time. Accessible mortgages with competitive rates are available for various getaway homes, including non-winterized or remote locations. Lenders apply different criteria for second or third homes compared to primary residences, with down payments ranging from as low as 5% or 10% to 20% or higher depending on the property type and usage. Mortgage options vary between year-round accessible and seasonal cottages, with some requiring higher rates and down payments. Canadians can incorporate down payments through refinancing, HELOC, or reverse mortgages, while innovative tools streamline the mortgage process.
