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.

The Client

Our client, a Singaporean couple, went from novice real estate investors to building a portfolio of 12 U.S. properties in a matter of 4 years, quitting their jobs and establishing themselves as sophisticated real estate investors. They went on to teach others how to do the same.

How We Helped

Our America Mortgages loan officer based in Singapore met with the couple several times prior to helping them create a structure for their first U.S. property. After the first was renovated and increased in value, the used the equity to pull out cash at 70% LTV and use another mortgage to purchase at 75% LTV. They did this over 10 times to create a portfolio. 

A clever use of equity and professional and experienced loan structure from our America Mortgages’ loan officer helped create an ongoing stream of passive income.
