Interest Rate Pause: Great News for Overseas Investors

Post author By Premela R.
Post date June 28, 2023

The Federal Reserve’s pause on interest rate hikes is a boon for foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors looking to obtain a U.S. mortgage. With interest rates on hold, investors can lock 30-year and potentially 40-year fixed rate mortgage loans with lower borrowing costs, which can save them thousands of dollars over the life of a loan. This is especially important for investors who are looking to use leverage with rental properties, as the lower interest rates will help to boost their cash flow.

The interest rate pause is a limited-time opportunity for investors to take advantage of these benefits. If you are considering buying an investment property in the U.S., now is the time to “marry the property and date the rate.“

Here are some of the positive ways that the interest rate pause can benefit foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors:

Overall, the interest rate pause is a positive development for foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors who are looking to buy investment property in the U.S. As rates increased, the FOMO frenzy has died down allowing investors time to search for the right property and not get involved in bidding wars.

Although interest rates are slightly higher than they were during the pandemic, they are still historically low when compared to historical 30-year mortgage data, as below:

Another advantage for overseas investors is that the housing market in the U.S. is currently a buyer’s market, as with the current interest rate there may not be as many owner-occupied buyers as there were when interest rates were at their lowest. This makes it an excellent opportunity for real estate investors to be able to negotiate not only on the price but potentially on the closing cost or certain contingencies with the property. This itself exceeds any benefit of potentially lower interest rates as your rate can be lowered with a refinance down the road when interest rates do decrease.

At America Mortgages, we offer a variety of flexible loan products that can be tailored to your specific needs. We understand that not all investors are the same, and we want to make sure that you get the loan that is right for you. If you are a foreign national or U.S.

expat investor who is interested in learning more about the interest rate pause and how it can benefit you, please us at [email protected] today.

This is all we do, and no one does it better. We would be happy to discuss your options and help you to find the right investment property for your needs. Connect with us today!

Top Ways to Build a Real Estate Portfolio as an Investor

Post author By Premela R.
Post date June 22, 2023

USA International Mortgage | Real Estate Portfolio

Investing in U.S. real estate as a U.S. expat or foreign national can be a profitable endeavour with a potential for significant returns. However, it can also be complex and challenging without the right knowledge and strategies in place. At America Mortgages, we offer these proven strategies to help you build a solid real estate portfolio, focusing solely on investment properties for rental income and appreciation. According to the National Association of REALTORS, foreign buyers accounted for an estimated $59 billion in U.S. residential real estate purchases in 2022, up 8.5% from 2021.

Understand the Financing Options

“Traditional” bank mortgages may be difficult if you have no U.S. credit and may require a significant down payment or AUM. However, as an expat or foreign national, America Mortgages offers financing solutions specifically designed for foreign nationals and U.S. expats. With a minimum of 25% down as a foreign national and 20% down as an expat, with no requirements for AUM, it helps facilitate your entry into the property market as a beginner or grow your portfolio as a seasoned investor.

Diversify Your Portfolio

Avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. Investing globally and diversifying in various real estate asset classes is becoming a successful tool for sophisticated investors. With the U.S. being the largest real estate market, it makes sense to build a portfolio with properties that will appreciate in value while also maintaining a steady yield. It’s also important to consider investing in different property types (such as single-family homes, apartment complexes, and commercial properties) and various locations to mitigate risk and boost potential returns.

Leverage Equity

As your properties appreciate in value, you build equity. Use this equity to finance the purchase of additional properties. America Mortgages can guide you in leveraging your equity effectively.

Prioritize Location

The adage ‘location, location, location’ holds true in real estate investing. Prioritize properties in areas with steady job growth, good schools, and amenities like shopping and public transport. These factors can enhance rental demand and property values.

Here are the top 10 best places to buy rental property in 2023 for cash flow and appreciation, according to RealWealth:

Optimize Property Management

Efficient property management significantly affects your rental income and property values. America Mortgages works closely with reliable property management partners to ensure optimal handling of tenant relations, maintenance, and legal matters.

Marry the Property, Date the Rate

A principle America Mortgages upholds is to focus on the property first and the mortgage rate second. Choosing the right property that suits your investment goals is crucial, while the mortgage rate can be adjusted over time.

As a company, our only focus is providing U.S. mortgage financing for foreign nationals and U.S. expats. With America Mortgages as your trusted partner, building a robust U.S. real estate investment portfolio as a U.S. expat or foreign national is a very achievable goal. Our experienced team can guide you through this exciting journey, ensuring you’re well-equipped to make informed decisions and optimize your investment potential.

“The Matrix” – Where Do You Fit Here?

Post author By Premela R.
Post date June 16, 2023

Happy Friday and we thought a reference to the 1999 Sci-Fi movie would be a nice way to end the week.

I am not Neo, and we, of course, are not referring to “The Matrix” movie but how you fit into our “Loan Program Matrix.”

❌ Traditional Banks = one product to fit all borrowers

Offering a wide variety of mortgage options is something unique for international clients because we are conditioned to use a bank for a mortgage. Every bank more or less has the same loan anywhere in the world and qualifies more or less the same way as well.

✔ America Mortgages = many products to match the client’s needs

In a world with more entrepreneurs, people having more than one income stream, or even the affluent with low reported income but significant assets – we need the right loan program for each borrower type.

An entrepreneur with no reported salary and working for equity in their startup would not be able to qualify for a traditional mortgage.

A high-net-worth individual that is very busy or too private to bother with a traditional mortgage would need something that suits their requirements.

A parent who wants to buy an apartment in the town where their child is attending university and wants their child to “pay rent” to build up credit will also require a very different solution.

The Matrix

Where do you fit here?

Have you heard of the BRRRR Method?

Post author By Premela R.
Post date May 18, 2023

Real estate investing can be lucrative, but it requires careful planning and strategic approaches to maximize returns. One popular strategy gaining traction among investors is the BRRRR method, which stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. This method allows investors to leverage their capital, generate cash flow, and build a robust real estate portfolio. When implementing the BRRRR method, partnering with a trusted mortgage provider like America Mortgages can greatly enhance the investment process.

BRRRR Example

You find a distressed property that you purchase for $110,000 in cash.
You hire a contractor to renovate the property for $25,000.
The property appraises for $200,000.
You refinance at 75% ARV, which means you can pull out $150,000.
You have $15,000 left over.
You repeat the process with your next investment property.

Here is a breakdown of the numbers:

Initial investment: $110,000 + $25,000 = $135,000
After refinancing: $150,000 – $135,000 = $15,000
Available for next investment: $15,000 – $3,000 (est closing costs) = $12,000

This is just an example, and your results may vary. However, this strategy can be a great way to grow your real estate portfolio with little to no money down.

Why America Mortgages

Partnering with America Mortgages offers several advantages for investors implementing the BRRRR method. Firstly, their expertise in the real estate and mortgage industry ensures that investors receive tailored financial solutions aligned with their investment goals. Secondly, our extensive network of professionals, including real estate agents, contractors, and property managers, streamlines the investment process, saving investors time and effort.

For investors who put in the work, the BRRRR strategy can be a great way to build wealth through real estate investing. Connect with us at [email protected]

Property Experts Make the Case for U.S. Real Estate Investing

Property Experts International Housing Loans | US Real Estate Investing

Real estate has long been a favoured investment choice for many global investors, including U.S. expat and non-resident investors seeking long-term returns. With the current market conditions and volatility, experts have been making their case for investing in hard assets like real estate.

Experts suggest that real estate investments are less susceptible to short-term market fluctuations and offer more stable returns over the long term. They also offer an inflation hedge, as real estate prices tend to rise along with inflation, preserving the purchasing power of investors, regardless of their residency status.

Another reason for investing in real estate is the ability to generate passive income through rental yields. Rental yields tend to be stable and can provide investors with a steady source of income. This makes real estate a popular choice for U.S. expat and non-resident investors seeking regular cash flow and long-term capital growth.

There are also various ways to invest in real estate, such as direct ownership, real estate investment trusts (REITs), or private equity funds. This diversity of investment options provides investors, including U.S. expats and non-residents, the flexibility to choose the best option that fits their investment goals, risk tolerance, and liquidity requirements.

For those looking to invest in real estate, experts suggest that research and due diligence are crucial. This involves understanding the local property market and the specific risks and opportunities associated with the investment. In particular, U.S. expats and non-resident investors need to consider factors such as local demand and supply dynamics, rental yields, potential regulatory changes, and tax implications that may impact their investment.

Experts advise investors to work with experienced and reputable professionals, such as real estate agents, brokers, and lawyers, who can provide guidance and support throughout the investment process. This is particularly important for U.S. expat and non-resident investors who may need to become more familiar with the local market or regulations. By partnering with America Mortgages, investors gain access to specialized expertise in international transactions and a deep understanding of the real estate landscape.

Together with our trusted network of professionals, we ensure that you receive comprehensive assistance and make informed decisions in your real estate ventures.

Investors also need to consider the financing options available to them. America Mortgages specializes in providing tailored financing solutions to address the unique needs of non-resident investors. We understand the challenges they face and we offer a range of financing options for non-resident investors.

Finally, experts suggest that investors need to have a long-term perspective when investing in real estate. Real estate is not a get-rich-quick scheme and requires patience, diligence, and a willingness to ride out market fluctuations.

Investing in real estate is an attractive option for investors seeking stable returns, passive income, and a hedge against inflation. With a variety of investment options available and long duration fixed rates, real estate can provide investors, including U.S. expats and non-residents, with a valuable addition to their investment portfolio.

In the world of real estate investing, America Mortgages is your trusted partner. We specialize in serving U.S. expat and non-resident investors and understand the unique challenges and opportunities that these investors face. With our extensive experience and expertise, we provide tailored solutions to help you navigate the exciting world of real estate investment.

Top 10 Hottest U.S. Rental Markets Now

Post author By Premela R.
Post date May 5, 2023

The rental market in the U.S. has been on fire since 2017, and it’s only getting hotter. The number of renters has increased by over 10% since then, and this trend is expected to continue for years to come. RentCafe’s recent study indicates that this spring, renters are highly active in areas where living is affordable and job opportunities are abundant. This is great news for foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors who are looking to invest in the U.S. rental market.

Rental Trends in the U.S.

The rental market in the U.S. is booming, and it’s not just because of the economy.

The rise of remote work has created a huge demand for short-term rentals. People who work from home or travel often need temporary housing while they’re away from their permanent homes, and many landlords have taken advantage of this trend by creating short-term apartment rentals that are perfect for people who don’t want to commit to long leases but still want access to amenities like laundry facilities or gyms.

The pandemic also had an impact on rental trends: many people lost their homes during this crisis as well as their jobs. This created an increased need for affordable housing options throughout most major cities across America–and many landlords were happy to fill those needs by offering lower prices than ever before!

The Most Popular U.S. Rental Markets

The hottest rental markets in the U.S., according to the RentCafe study, are Atlanta, Kansas City, Albuquerque, and Detroit. These markets share important traits, such as being relatively inexpensive and having healthy economies. This makes them attractive options for foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors who are looking to invest in the U.S. rental market.

Florida’s warm climate and low tax rates have attracted many buyers and renters, with Orlando ranking in the top 10 and Fort Lauderdale placing 25th in RentCafe’s study. Properties marked as favorites in these markets have increased by more than 150% in a year, indicating significant interest in these areas.

America Mortgages can help foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors take advantage of these hot rental markets by offering financing options that cater to their unique needs. With the right mortgage, foreign nationals, and U.S. expat investors can invest in the U.S. rental market and take advantage of the opportunities presented by these hot rental markets.

The Benefits of Investing in Rental Properties

You can also benefit from the financial advantages of rental investments. Rental properties have the potential to appreciate in value over time, which means that you can sell your home at a profit or use it as collateral for a loan. In addition, you’ll be able to deduct expenses like mortgage interest and property taxes on your federal income tax return each year.

Rental properties are also attractive because they can help diversify your portfolio by providing an additional source of income outside of stocks and bonds. If you live in an area where housing prices are rising quickly–or if you’re looking for an investment that will provide more stability than stocks do–rental properties may be worth considering as part of your overall financial strategy.

The rental market in the U.S. is booming. If you’re looking to invest in real estate, now is the time!

America Mortgages can help non-resident investors with financing needs by offering a range of mortgage options that cater to your unique needs. For example, we offer non-QM loans, which are designed for borrowers who do not meet traditional lending requirements, such as foreign nationals and U.S. expat investors.

Here are our most popular loan programs for U.S. expats and foreign nationals.

These loans often have more flexible underwriting guidelines, making it easier for these borrowers to secure financing. With a team of experienced professionals and a commitment to personalized service, America Mortgages can help you achieve your goals.
