Can I have 2 mortgages?
It is not illegal to have two residential mortgages; you can have as many mortgages as you like on as many properties. The issue is that the terms and conditions of residential mortgages expect you to live in the properties as your own home, even if it’s only for a short time, as with a holiday home, for example.
How much deposit do I need for a second mortgage?

How many rental properties do you need to make a living?
With mortgage payments to contend with and a tough competition, you may only be able to profit $200 to $400 per month on a property.

Can I buy multiple houses with one mortgage?
Yes, it is possible. However, it isn’t done very often, because borrowers seldom find it advantageous and lenders dislike the complexity. In your case, the lender would be combining a property that will be used as a permanent residence and a property that will be used as an investment.
