Investment Properties
Rita Cousins Senior Mortgage Advisor • Sep 16, 2019
More Canadians are Purchasing Investment Properties
Here's Why
Return on Investment
Residential real estate is a solid estate investment,
typically appreciating faster than inflation.
Better alternative
to student residence
Many Canadians are sending their kids to
university and college away from home. Housing
them in an investment property purchased
specifically for that purpose is a good option.
Pension plan for the future
Over the long term, an investment property or
multiple real estate holdings can be a great source
of retirement funds
Earlier access to a 1st home
For first time home buyers, a duplex or triplex
can be a terrific way to get into home-ownership.
Rental income from the extra units can offset the
cost of the mortgage.
What you need to know about investment properties
- A minimum of 20% down payment is required for an insured lender.
- Less than a 20% down payment will incur higher interest rate with an uninsured lender.
- Once you have more than 4 properties, you will need to spread your mortgages across several
lenders to avoid reaching maximum number of mortgages per investor that a lender will approve
