A growing number of Canadians are choosing to invest in vacation properties. These properties offer benefits such as relaxation, wealth-building, and quality time with family. Canadians can now take advantage of accessible mortgages with low rates for vacation properties, even those that are non-winterized or located in remote areas. Whether it's a lake cottage or a housing option for college, there are different lending criteria for second or third homes compared to primary residences. Some vacation and secondary homes can require a minimum of 5% or 10% down payment, while others may need 20% or higher. These properties are categorized differently and have varying treatment from lenders. Additionally, the mortgage options available depend on the property type, whether it is year-round accessible or seasonal. Down payments can be incorporated through mortgage refinancing, HELOC, or a reverse mortgage. Canadians can take advantage of innovative tools in Canada to streamline processes and ensure accuracy.
