Vacation Property BC

     Most financial institutions offer financing programs for vacation properties and/or second homes. 95% financing is available to clients depending on the type of property you buy.

Using the equity in your home

     Your primary residence is also a good place to look for financing. If your home is worth more than your outstanding mortgage, you may be able to use your home equity to purchase your vacation property.

Things to consider about Vacation Properties

     It is a good idea to budget for renovations, maintenance and property taxes when working out the costs of purchasing your vacation home.

Renting your vacation property is a great way to cover carrying costs. If you determine that you will not be able to spend every month at your vacation property offsetting the cost with rentals will help you make money to cover things like maintenance property taxes and improvements. Take advantage of ski seasons or hunting seasons or family vacations to maximize your possible revenue.

Family ownership can also be another great way to offset costs and improve quality of time at your new vacation home. Families often get together on ventures such as this, which enables all parties to enjoy a family retreat without the over load of personal costs.

To qualify for a vacation property it is recommended to complete a full application with your mortgage specialist. This will allow them to structure your application on your behalf for best results of approval with the different mortgage lenders.
