Rental property mortgages

Each new property you purchase is building your business, and your financial future. We’ll help you step by step, one house at a time.

Investing in rental properties can be a great option that can provide you with extra income. You can finance up to six rental units (doors) or $1.25 million as a consumer member.*
 

Questions to consider before purchasing a new property
  • Is it a good time for you to buy a property? Does it make financial sense for you?
  • What kind of property is the best investment?
  • What is the ideal location?
  • What is the current state of both the rental and job market?
  • Do you have knowledge of the industry, or can you tap into advice from experts to support your growing business?
  • Will you be a landlord, or will you hire a property manager to take care of your rental properties?

Benefits of our rental property mortgage

Your mortgage, your terms

Make a minimum 20% down payment, with the choice of up to 30 years to repay your mortgage.

Build your own network

As your real estate investment portfolio grows, you’ll require the help of experts more and more. We can introduce you to a variety of professionals to assist in this process.

Receive financing tailored to your situation

Preapproval can be based on projected rental income, and you can leverage existing properties to help finance your next purchase.

Save on interest costs

You have the ability to pay your mortgage off early with our prepayment privileges, which allow you to pay an additional 20% of your original mortgage amount each year.
