Financing our second home !!

Hello all,
Me and husband purchased the present home few years back. We have a daughter, and it is our wish to buy a home for her, because she is moving to another city for her studies, also it will be an asset for us. But since we do not have enough savings, will go for a mortgage. We had been looking at the different options for financing our new home. My friend suggested me a blog that she had read on how to purchase a second home, if its for your direct relative like child. Accordingly, we have sufficient income , and strong credit history. But, I wanted to know, what would be the best mortgage option for us. My husband will be retiring in a few years, so before that we would like to pay off this mortgage, and be free from all financial commitments. Please advice me here. Thanks.

I certainly wouldn't take any notice of some random advertising blog posted on the internet and sent to you by 'a friend'.

I would suggest you consult an independent financial advisor where you live in Canada, you can then explain to them your circumstance and they will know exactly what is available to you there.

I agree with Meg. Also, you will have more re-dress if something goes wrong if you use a professional.

Take into account that you will have to pay an extra 3% on top of stamp duty as a second home .
