US Expat Mortgage | International Mortgage Loans

The Client

Our client was a self-employed U.S. expat living in London wanted to buy a property for his daughter attending school in Boston. After his daughter finished her first year of school, he wanted to buy an apartment near the university where should could live and split the costs with her school friends. He wanted to give his daughter a nice, safe place to live and invest in an income producing property. 

How We Helped

Our America Mortgages loan officer based in London structured our AM Student+ loan, which allowed the client to qualify based on the proposed rental income and not the client’s personal income. As a self-employed business owner that had a difficult time showing his true debt servicing ability, this was an ideal solution.  

The client purchased the property, and her daughter moved in and rented the other two rooms to her friends, who paid 80% of the mortgage payment. This was a smart investment with a well-structured U.S. mortgage program.

Residential Bridge Loan | Buying Property In The US

The Client

Our client living in Australia owned a luxury property in California with no mortgage. He wanted to take advantage of a market opportunity for his business but had very little liquidity. He explained his situation and as he needed the funds within a week.  

How We Helped

Our America Mortgages loan officer based in Sydney proposed a quick real estate bridge loan to address his immediate liquidity issue. The loan was structured as a pure asset-based (no financials required) with no prepayment penalty and funded within 4 days from application. As there was no prepayment penalty, our loan officer immediately started the process of refinancing into a 10-year fixed interest only with a total term of 40 year fixed rate. 

The immediate liquidity issue was resolved, and a proper long-term mortgage was put in place.
