Vacation Home Mortgage

What is a Second or Vacation Home Mortgage?

When the time comes to purchase a second home, you want a mortgage that suits your needs and fits within your budget. Whether it’s a vacation cottage in the country or an apartment in the city close to work, you can reach both your property goals and your financial goals with the right second/vacation home mortgage.

How Does a Second or Vacation Home Mortgage Work?

A second home or vacation home is a special type of property, and as such, requires a special type of loan. While a second home mortgage is similar to a standard mortgage loan, there are certain requirements and conditions that differentiate a second home mortgage from other types of mortgages. With a vacation home mortgage, lenders are interested in not only your financial situation as a borrower, but also the specifics of the property you’re planning on purchasing. Most lenders’ approval requirements for vacation properties are stricter and more complex than what’s typically required for a standard mortgage. At First Foundation, we can help you prepare your second home mortgage application to make sure you get access to the type of financing you need at a rate that fits your budget.
