In this webinar, Robert Chadwick<\/a> (Co-Founder of America Mortgages) and Donald Klip<\/a> (Co-Founder of Global Mortgage Group<\/a> and America Mortgages<\/a>) discuss why 2026 may represent a breakout year for U.S. real estate investors. The session covers U.S. property trends, international investor demand, financing options for overseas buyers, and the economic outlook driving the next cycle of growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald provides an analytical overview of the macroeconomic forces \u2014 including AI-driven job creation, housing shortages, and monetary policy shifts \u2014 that are expected to fuel property appreciation. Robert follows with an overview of America Mortgages\u2019<\/strong> loan programs, lending advantages for non-residents and expats, and practical strategies for global investors to enter or expand within the U.S. real estate market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion concludes with a Q&A session<\/strong> addressing common investor questions on financing, LLC structuring, refinancing, and market timing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q1: Can I do a cash-out refinance to release equity and reinvest before the 2026 market upswing? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Chadwick:<\/strong> Yes, absolutely. If you anticipate an upswing in 2026, it\u2019s a good time to refinance<\/a> now. A refinance typically takes about 30 days, depending on the loan program, and allows you to pull out equity for reinvestment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2: I\u2019m based overseas \u2014 what\u2019s the easiest way to start investing in U.S. real estate through America Mortgages? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donald Klip:<\/strong> The first step is to speak to the America Mortgages team. Typically, the process involves: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Discussing your investment goals and selecting the right loan program. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Setting up a U.S. LLC<\/a> (preferably in Wyoming for cost and simplicity). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Connecting with a tax advisor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Reviewing America Mortgages\u2019 internal \u201cshopping list\u201d of 800+ high-yield properties across the U.S. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Once you identify a property, America Mortgages will guide you through financing and closing remotely <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Q3: Can you explain the difference between a full-doc and a no-doc loan for non-resident borrowers? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Robert Chadwick:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Full-Doc Loan<\/a> requires complete financial documentation such as tax returns, pay slips, and bank statements \u2014 ideal for second homes or holiday homes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Low-Doc (formerly \u201cNo-Doc\u201d) Loan<\/a> relies on the property\u2019s rental income<\/strong> rather than personal income. Borrowers provide minimal documents (passport, bank statements, proof of funds) to show the ability to cover down payment and reserves. This type of loan is ideal for investment properties <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Q4:If the best time to buy is before 2026, when should I start my financing or pre-approval process? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Robert Chadwick:<\/strong> Start now<\/strong>. Pre-approval typically takes 24\u201372 hours. You only need proof of: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
