How much down payment is required?
Typically, lenders require a minimum of 20% down payment for vacation and second homes, but this can vary based on the lender's policies and the property's location and value. *See second home program by Sagen with 5% down.

Are mortgage rates higher for second homes?
Interest rates for second homes may be slightly higher than for primary residences due to the increased risk, but they are generally lower than rates for investment properties.
What are the tax implications?
Tax implications for owning a second home can include deductions for mortgage interest and property taxes. However, if you rent out the property, other tax rules may apply. It's best to consult with a tax advisor.
Can I use equity from my primary home to buy a second home?
Yes, many homeowners leverage the equity in their primary residence through a HELOC or cash-out refinance to finance the purchase of a second home.
What documents do I need for a mortgage on a second home?
Similar to a primary mortgage, you'll need to provide proof of income, assets, credit history, and employment, as well as information about the property.
How does financing a vacation home differ from an investment property?
Financing terms for vacation homes are often more favorable than for investment properties, with lower down payment requirements and interest rates, as vacation homes are considered lower risk.
What insurance is required for a second home?
You'll need a separate homeowner's insurance policy for your second home, which may have higher premiums due to the non-primary residence status and location-specific risks.
Is a second home mortgage right for me?
If you're financially stable, have sufficient income for additional mortgage payments, and are looking for a personal retreat or long-term investment, a second home mortgage might be a suitable option.
