Rentals
A rental mortgage, also known as an investment property mortgage, is a loan specifically designed for purchasing properties that will be rented out rather than occupied by the owner. These mortgages typically require a larger down payment and may come with higher interest rates compared to traditional home loans, reflecting the increased risk associated with rental properties. Lenders often evaluate the potential rental income and the borrower's financial situation to determine eligibility. Overall, a rental mortgage can be a valuable tool for investors looking to generate passive income through real estate.

What is Debt Consolidation​
​​
-
The standard minimum down payment for acquiring a rental property is typically 20% of the total purchase price. If you plan to live in one of the units (in the case of a multi-unit property), you might have the option of a lower down payment. For example, a mortgage backed by CMHC might allow a down payment under 20% for units that are owner-occupied.
-
Many property investors prefer longer amortization periods to decrease their monthly financial responsibilities. The mortgage rates for rental properties usually are slightly higher than those for primary residences. The eligibility criteria set by lenders can vary significantly.
-
It's crucial to consider your main objectives, available resources, and your knowledge about being a landlord. Investing in rental properties can be an effective way to generate extra income.
-
Some risks associated with rental properties include variations in rental income, especially for short-term rentals. Additionally, certain regions impose strict regulations on short-term rental activities.
