Investment / Rental Properties
Our team of experienced mortgage brokers have helped hundreds of borrowers with the purchase or refinance of an investment property. Unlike a mortgage on your principal residence, financing an investment is a little more complex. For starters, the number of units the property has and whether or not you’ll be living in one of the units are two major factors in determining your financing options.
Since April 19th, 2010, the minimum down-payment for a non-owner occupied investment property is 20% of the purchase price. However, if you plan to live in the property as well, then the minimum down payment could be as little as 5% – 10%, depending on the number of units in the property.
Here’s an example:
| Units | Owner-Occupied? | Down Payment | Max Loan-to-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Yes | 5% | 95% |
| 1-2 | No | 20% | 80% |
| 3-4 | Yes | 10% | 90% |
| 3-4 | No | 20% | 80% |
Other key highlights of a Rental / Investment mortgage include:
- Fixed, Variable, and HELOC’s permitted
- Competitive rates
- NO application fees*
- Extended amortizations – up to 30 or 35 years
* Some conditions may apply
