About America Mortgages — specialist non-resident lender

Industry experts in non-resident U.S. lending.

  • 100% focused on foreign nationals & U.S. expats
  • 150+ U.S. bank and lender programs

America Mortgages reviews from international borrowers

Rated Excellent on Google · 42 reviews
America Mortgages was fantastic to work with as an American expat. I needed to refinance my condo in DC but living overseas. For most lenders I was denied because my income was foreign… the entire process was seamless and took less than 6 weeks.

As Canadians, we were told by other brokers they were unable to get a mortgage for our grandparents' home. Thankfully, Joe was able to assist us and allow us to keep it!

A bank and another company couldn't approve my mortgage. I found America Mortgages online at the airport between flights… Even easier than getting a mortgage for my own home in London.

Services for international U.S. property owners

Beyond just mortgages.

Beyond the loan, America Mortgages connects clients with FX and money transfer, LLC formation, insurance, U.S. tax advisory, wealth management and property management — the full stack a remote owner needs.

Money transfer

Cash to close has to land in a U.S. account on a fixed date. We coordinate the timing with your loan and introduce a regulated FX provider.

Learn more

LLC formation

Most foreign nationals hold U.S. rental property in an LLC because lenders require it. We introduce an independent formation provider and time the setup around your closing.

Learn more

Insurance

Landlord (DP3) cover for U.S. rental property owned by non-residents, arranged through a licensed insurance partner and timed to your closing.

Learn more

Tax filing

We don't prepare or advise on taxes — we arrange it, introducing an independent cross-border accounting firm for your taxpayer number and return.

Learn more

Property management

We introduce a vetted, licensed local manager for tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance and monthly reporting.

Foreign national & U.S. expat mortgage FAQ

The questions everyone asks before they call.

Do I really not need U.S. credit?

For qualifying programs, no. No U.S. credit score, U.S. tax returns or U.S. residency is required — we qualify the property and your assets instead, and foreign credit is accepted.

Can a foreign national get a U.S. mortgage?

Yes. Non-U.S. citizens can finance U.S. property with no Social Security Number and no U.S. credit file. Qualification is based on the property and your verified assets, and America Mortgages arranges financing for clients of 57 nationalities.

Can a U.S. expat get a mortgage while living abroad?

Yes. We use your foreign income and assets, and we can work around the Form 2555 problem — the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion that makes an expat's U.S. tax return show little or no income and gets them denied at conventional banks.

What is a DSCR loan?

A DSCR loan qualifies a rental property on its own rental income rather than your personal income, which is why it's the most-used product for overseas investors. It needs no U.S. credit, tax returns or SSN.

How much down payment do I need?

It depends on the program, the property and your profile — leverage differs between a U.S. expat and a foreign national, and between a purchase and a cash-out refinance. A specialist gives you a real range on the first call.

Can I close without flying to the U.S.?

Yes. The application and the closing are both handled remotely — you sign from where you live, and loans fund in all 50 states.
