Investment Property Mortgages in Alberta & Saskatchewan
Finance Your Next Investment Property With Confidence
Buying an investment property can be a powerful way to build a real estate portfolio, but financing a rental property can work differently from financing your primary home.
At Atlas Mortgage Group, we help real estate investors across Alberta and Saskatchewan explore mortgage solutions for rental and investment properties. Whether you’re purchasing your first rental property or expanding an existing portfolio, we’ll help you understand your financing options and find a solution that fits your investment strategy.
We can help with financing for:
- Rental properties
- Single-family investment properties
- Multi-unit residential properties
- Condos and rental units
- Properties purchased for long-term rental income
- Additional investment properties
- Portfolio expansion
- Refinancing existing investment properties
The right financing structure depends on the property and your overall financial situation.
Financing for Rental and Investment Properties
Investment property financing comes with different considerations than a traditional home purchase.
Lenders may look at factors such as your income, credit history, existing debts, down payment, property value, and potential rental income when assessing your application.
At Atlas Mortgage Group, we help investors understand these requirements before moving forward with a purchase.
Investment Property Mortgages in Calgary & Regina

How Investment Property Financing Works
01.
Discuss Your Investment Goals
We’ll start by understanding what you’re planning to purchase, how you intend to use the property, and where you are in your investment journey.
If you already own rental properties, we’ll also look at your existing mortgage obligations and overall portfolio.
02.
Review Your Financial Position
Lenders may consider your income, credit, debts, existing properties, available down payment, and other financial information when assessing your application.
We’ll help you understand what information and documentation may be required.
03.
Assess the Property
The property itself plays an important role in investment financing. Purchase price, property type, location, and potential rental income can all affect the financing options available.
04.
Compare Mortgage Options
We’ll compare available options from our lender network and explain the differences in rates, terms, conditions, and payment structures.
05.
Secure Your Financing
Once you’ve selected an appropriate mortgage solution, we’ll help guide you through the application and approval process.
Can Rental Income Help You Qualify?
Potential rental income may be considered by some lenders when assessing an investment property mortgage.
However, lenders can have different rules regarding how rental income is calculated and how much of it can be used for qualification.
This is one reason investment property financing can be more complex than a standard residential mortgage.
At Atlas Mortgage Group, we’ll help you understand how potential rental income may factor into your financing options.
How Much Down Payment Do You Need for an Investment Property?
The down payment required for an investment property can differ from the requirements for an owner-occupied home.
The amount you need will depend on factors such as the property, lender requirements, purchase price, and your financial circumstances.
A larger down payment may reduce the amount you need to borrow, but it’s also important to consider how much capital you want to keep available for repairs, vacancies, future investments, and other expenses.
Before making an offer, speak with a mortgage professional to understand the financing requirements for the specific property you’re considering.
Looking Beyond the Interest Rate
When financing an investment property, the lowest mortgage rate isn’t always the only thing that matters.
Investors should also consider:
- Mortgage terms
- Prepayment privileges
- Flexibility
- Payment structure
- Qualification requirements
- Potential refinancing options
- How the mortgage fits into the broader investment strategy
A mortgage that works for one property may not be the right solution for another.
Our job is to help you understand the complete financing picture so you can make an informed decision.
Refinancing an Investment Property
Refinancing may be an option for investors who want to access available equity, restructure existing financing, or use property equity toward another investment.
The amount of equity you can access and the refinancing options available will depend on the property, lender requirements, income, credit, and overall financial situation.
Before refinancing, it’s important to consider the costs involved and whether the strategy makes sense for your long-term goals.
Our mortgage brokers can help you review the numbers and understand your options.
Already Own Investment Properties?
If you already have rental properties, your next mortgage may require a different approach.
As your portfolio grows, lenders may look at your existing mortgages, property values, rental income, debts, and overall financial position.
Atlas Mortgage Group can help investors explore financing for additional purchases and refinancing opportunities where appropriate.
Whether you’re purchasing your second property or building a larger portfolio, we’ll help you evaluate your available options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an investment property mortgage?
An investment property mortgage is financing used to purchase a property that you intend to generate rental income from rather than use solely as your primary residence. Lender requirements can differ from those for an owner-occupied home.
How much down payment do I need for an investment property?
The required down payment depends on factors such as the property, purchase price, lender requirements, and your financial circumstances. Investment properties may have different down payment requirements than primary residences.
Can rental income be used to qualify for an investment property mortgage?
Potential rental income may be considered by some lenders when assessing your application. However, lenders have different rules for calculating and using rental income, so the amount that can be considered may vary.
Can I buy an investment property if I already have a mortgage?
Yes. Owning a primary residence or other properties does not automatically prevent you from purchasing another investment property. Your income, existing debts, credit, available down payment, and overall financial position will be considered by the lender.
Can I refinance an investment property to access equity?
In some cases, yes. Depending on the property’s value, existing mortgage, lender requirements, and your financial situation, you may be able to refinance and access available equity. It’s important to consider the costs and long-term implications before proceeding.
