About America Mortgages — specialist non-resident lender
Industry experts in non-resident U.S. lending.
We founded America Mortgages in 2019 to fix a $100B/year problem: international investors of U.S. residential real estate had no access to financing. Roughly 60% of foreign-buyer transactions closed in cash.
With backing from international investors, we built the first U.S. mortgage brokerage focused entirely on borrowers overseas. Today we're the leading direct lender and super-broker for foreign nationals, non-U.S. citizens, and expats.

150+ U.S. bank and lender programs
Direct lender + super-broker model
Multilingual support across global time zones
Seamless closings in all 50 states

“We started this company to fix a problem facing international investors of U.S. residential real estate — the lack of financing options. We've cemented ourselves as the leading U.S. mortgage lender focused ONLY on foreign nationals and expats. Thank you.”
The numbers tell the story. The model tells the rest.
Foreign buyers purchased $56 billion of U.S. homes in the year to March 2025 — and 44% of them live outside the United States. We finance them in all 50 states — clients of 57 nationalities.

“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.”

“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.”

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.
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.

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.
