    Recreational properties require 5–20% down. Some lenders offer special cottage programs with flexible qualifications.

    Relocating for work or family? A second home for personal use may qualify for lower rates than a rental property.

    💰 The investment case

    Canadian real estate has averaged 6.3% annual appreciation over the past 20 years. Combined with rental income, a $500,000 investment property with 20% down ($100,000) could generate substantial returns. Use our mortgage calculators to crunch the numbers for your scenario, or fund the down payment through an equity takeout on your primary residence.
