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 types of getaway homes, including lake cottages, college housing, and remote or non-winterized locations. Lending criteria differ from primary residences, with some vacation homes requiring down payments as low as 5-10%, while others, especially certain types of cottages, may demand 20% or more, often accompanied by higher rates. Mortgage options also vary based on whether the property is year-round accessible or seasonal. Additionally, down payments can be funded through refinancing, HELOCs, or reverse mortgages.
