Qualification

To qualify for a USA mortgage, submit a standard application with documentation verifying your Canadian income, assets, liabilities, and credit history. Pre-approval usually takes a few days, while the full mortgage process takes around 30 days after your offer is accepted. Avoid quick-closing offers.

Property types

Financing is available for various types of properties, including first/second homes, seasonal properties, investments, and commercial properties. The price range is from $50,000 to over $20 million.

American mortgage interest rate

Interest accrues monthly. Fixed-rate terms (15-30 years) offer potentially very low rates. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARM) with shorter terms (3-7 years) have rates that adjust after the initial period.

Down payment requirements

Down payment amounts depend on several factors, including your credit score, the property’s location, and the property type. With a good credit score, expect a 20-25% down payment for a second home or investment property.

Closing costs & expenses

Costs can be higher than in Canada. Expect appraisals, inspections, and title closing fees. Banks might charge 1-3% for origination and application. Most mortgages don’t have prepayment penalties, so factor those costs in upfront.

Products and terms

USA mortgages offer extended fixed-term options with very low rates and shorter terms with adjustable rates that adapt to market changes. Many mortgages allow penalty-free early repayment.
