And when it comes to the cost of your mortgage, a lower mortgage rate makes a big difference.
For example, the difference between a fixed rate of 6.40% and our rate of 4.19% on a $500,000 mortgage would mean interest savings of $53,190 over the 5 year term.
On the date you apply for a Cambrian mortgage, either online or with a Personal Banking Advisor, automatically lock in our 1 – 5 year fixed mortgage rates in effect on that date for you, for up to 4 months from the date of your application.

To apply online for a residential rental mortgage, you will need the following information: (if joint borrowers, you will need the information for both borrowers)
1. Employment information, including your gross monthly salary (before taxes and deductions)
2. Information about your assets, such as:
3. Information about your debt payments and liabilities, which include:
Loans
4. We also need you to provide us with the following documents:
We will review your online application within one business day and email you next steps. If we are proceeding with your application, we will ask you to book a meeting online with one of our advisors (you can meet by video, phone or in person).
We will provide you with a pre-approval confirmation which outlines your maximum mortgage amount and the maximum purchase price that you can afford. You can now go rental property hunting with confirmed mortgage financing in place - this makes you a pre-qualified buyer.
Once your offer to purchase is accepted, let us know immediately. If required, we will arrange a property appraisal to confirm the value of the property.
We will draft the documents for your signature and review together. You can sign the documents in person at the branch or we can send the documents to your lawyer for signature.
On possession date, you get the keys to your new rental property!
Your mortgage payments will start after your possession date, as per the timing detailed on your mortgage documents.
When purchasing a rental property, you need a minimum down payment of 20%of the purchase value for single family homes/duplexes and a minimum of 25% of the purchase value for multi-unit complexes.
You cannot use your RRSPs, which means you’ll need to tap into your other savings or the equity of your home for your down payment.
Before hunting for your rental property, it’s important to apply to get pre-approved. This will confirm the maximum mortgage you can afford and will make you a more attractive buyer since your financing has already been pre-approved with a financial institution.
As a rental property owner, you will have regular operating costs associated with your property.
You should budget about 1% of the property’s value annually for maintenance and have a plan in place. You’ll also want to know the cost of property taxes. In general, budget around 50% of your total rental income for operating expenses.
Consider what type of tenants you are looking to attract to narrow down your search to the most suitable neighbourhoods. Research rent costs in the area to make sure you will be able to turn a profit with your rental property.
You can complete the mortgage process with us without needing to come into a branch. You can meet with an advisor via video and we can send the mortgage documentation to your lawyer for signature. Single family and duplex properties can also apply online.
Rental properties do not qualify for the Home Buyers Plan. However, you may be able to withdraw RRSP funds, aside from the Home Buyers Plan, to assist with your down payment.
If not, you will need to use other savings to fund the down payment of a rental property.
