Investment properties

A property investment with a clearer plan.

Whether it is your first rental or the next addition to your portfolio, financing should support a realistic investment strategy, not just a purchase price.

Options for purchase, renovation, or refinance

Look at the whole portfolio

Review property income, operating expenses, vacancies, existing mortgages, and your personal borrowing. Lenders may assess rental income and expenses differently.

Match the loan to the property

Property type, unit count, rental use, and your financial profile affect lender options. Purchase, renovation, and refinance strategies require different documentation and may involve different down payments.

Plan for the unexpected

Maintenance, vacancies, insurance, taxes, and interest changes can affect cash flow. Lorika can discuss financing structures while your accountant and lawyer review tax and ownership implications.

Your questions, answered.

Can rental income help me qualify?

It may. Lenders use different methods and may recognize only part of the rent or apply expense allowances. Property documentation is required.

Is an investment mortgage the same as a home mortgage?

Not always. Down payment, rate, lender selection, and underwriting can differ for non-owner-occupied properties.

Let’s find the right next step.

Bring your questions. Lorika will help you make sense of your options.
