Very often these aren’t traditional fixed-rate mortgages. That’s what they probably have on their “primary” home, but when you’re buying homes with the explicit purpose of using them as income generators, the landscape of available loans changes.
Thank you for a very well explained response. Also in countries like Canada mortgage terms are redone every 5 years on average making us much more susceptible to rate changes than in America.
I don’t understand. If they get a fixed rate at the time of purchase what difference does it make that rates have gone up?

That’s pretty disgusting. Would do nothing but make you move every five years, and banks are going to screw you over every five years.
