What Is Investment Property Financing?
Investment property financing refers to mortgages for properties that you will not occupy as your primary residence. These include rental homes, condos purchased for tenants, multi-unit residential buildings, and vacation properties intended for rental income. In the GTA real estate market, investment properties have historically provided strong appreciation alongside rental income, making them attractive for wealth building.
Investment property mortgages have different qualification criteria than primary residence mortgages. Lenders typically require a minimum 20% down payment (since CMHC insurance does not cover investment properties), stricter debt servicing ratios, and demonstration of rental income sustainability. They also assess your existing property holdings differently once you own multiple properties.
As a mortgage broker who works with many real estate investors, I understand the nuances of investment property financing. This includes strategies for using rental income to qualify, structuring purchases within appropriate holding entities, managing portfolio limits with various lenders, and planning acquisitions to maximize buying power over multiple properties.

Why Choose This Solution
Rental Income Recognition
Lenders I work with use favorable rental income calculations, often counting 50-80% of gross rents toward your qualification. Some programs even use projected market rents on purchases, helping you qualify for more property.
Multi-Property Expertise
Once you own multiple properties, standard lender policies become limiting. I work with portfolio lenders, credit unions, and alternative options that welcome investors with 5, 10, or even 20+ properties.
Strategic Planning
I help you plan acquisitions strategically which properties to buy first, how to structure ownership, when to refinance vs. purchase new. This long-term thinking helps maximize your portfolio growth over time.
Competitive Rates
Despite the slightly higher risk profile of investment properties, I negotiate competitive rates by shopping across lenders who actively seek investor business. You get the best terms for your situation.
Your Path Forward
Portfolio Assessment
We review your current holdings, equity position, income, and goals. I help you understand how much additional investment property you can acquire and the best approach.
