The Vacation Home Buyers’ Plan (VHBP) is a program that allows you to borrow from your registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) to buy a vacation home for you and your family.

There seems to be a way that Canadians can now use some of their RRSP money to invest in Mexican property. This is excellent news for many in Canada who want to escape the cold winters to stay in Mexico for longer than a few weeks or even months.

This new program allows easy access to many to purchase when looking for a vacation home financing in Mexico or the Latin Americas.

Traditionally, the two most significant hurdles for vacation property owners are:

The down payment requirements of the property that can range between 20 and 30 percent of the property value,

The securing of a mortgage in a foreign jurisdiction.

This new program addresses both these challenges. With its structure, it allows Canadians to access their RRSP for the down payment with no tax implications. Also, this new program has many strategic relationships with many major banks in the Caribbean and Mexico that are willing to finance qualified Canadians that meet the down deposit requirements.

Who can benefit using Canada’s Vacation Property Financing Program?

With 67% of Canadians owning an RRSP with over a trillion dollars in RRSP assets, the path to vacation property ownership for Canadians has never been easier. You simply have to have an RRSP to qualify. If you have an RRSP contribution room still available, you can make a new contribution, get a full deduction, and subsequently use the proceeds to finance your vacation dream home purchase. It has never been easier!

So, how does it all work?

Traditionally, RRSPs have been used by Canadians for their retirement, which is often many years in the future. Through proprietary VHBP structure, Canadians can now unlock the value of their RRSPs today to acquire vacation property ownership.
