Why Many Investors Are Moving Now, Not Later

Every investor wants to catch the bottom of the interest rate cycle. In reality, the “perfect” moment is only obvious in hindsight, and by then the best opportunities are usually gone.

Right now, U.S. mortgage rates have started to ease, and refinance applications are picking up while purchase activity remains more subdued. That combination tells a clear story: some owners are already making their move, but the broader buying crowd has not yet returned.

For investors, the right time to refinance is often when rates are heading down but before prices move sharply up. That is the window we are in today.

When rates fall further and sentiment turns, more buyers enter the market, competition intensifies, and prices begin to climb. The duplex you can buy for $300,000 today can quickly become a $400,000 property once bidding wars and aggressive offers return. At that point, even slightly lower interest rates may not compensate for the higher purchase price.

Refinancing earlier in the cycle allows you to do two things at once:

Lock in a more attractive rate.
Release equity while prices are still relatively reasonable.

For many America Mortgages clients, the primary goal is not just to reduce monthly payments. It is to free up capital so they can buy another investment property – or even more than one – while prices remain comparatively low. In other words, they are using today’s refinancing environment to position themselves for tomorrow’s growth.

This is particularly relevant for foreign nationals and U.S. expats who already own U.S. property but may have found traditional refinancing routes difficult. Conventional lenders often require U.S. tax returns, W-2 income and a domestic credit profile, which many overseas investors simply do not have.

That is where our dedicated refinance solution comes in.

The AM Cash-Out Refinance Loan Program

The AM Cash-Out Refinance loan program is designed specifically for foreign nationals and U.S. expats who want to unlock the equity in their U.S. properties and redeploy it into new opportunities.

Key Loan Highlights:

No Personal Income Required – Ideal for foreign nationals & U.S. expats
No U.S. Credit History Needed – Simplified approval process
Loan Amounts – Starting from US$100,000
Loan-to-Value (LTV) – Up to 80% for U.S. citizens and 75% for foreign nationals
Closing Time – Typically 30–45 days
Payment Options – Amortizing or Interest-only

For many of our clients, that means they can refinance an existing U.S. property, pull out six figures in cash, and then use that capital as the down payment on another home, condo, or duplex – at today’s prices, not tomorrow’s.

Refine the Rate, Recycle the Equity

The investors who tend to come out ahead in each cycle follow a simple pattern. They refinance when rates start to improve, not when the headlines say “lowest in years”. They release equity while valuations are still sensible. And they use that equity to expand their portfolios before the next broad-based price surge.

If you wait until everyone is talking about how “cheap” money is again, you are usually buying in a $400,000 market instead of a $300,000 one.

The right time to refinance is rarely about perfection. It is about getting ahead of the next move – securing a better rate, recycling your equity, and putting that capital to work in additional investments while you still have a pricing advantage.

Refinance now, buy more while prices are still relatively low, and let the next phase of appreciation work for you, not against you.
