American mortgages
An American mortgage is a special type of loan that provides you with unrestricted options in order to meet any of your financing needs. These mortgages are always secured with a lien on real estate.
American mortgages are also available for specific uses, such as financing the purchase of non-residential space associated with a residence (such as a garage, etc.), refinancing to recoup an investment or for other purposes related to investments in housing that cannot be financed with a standard mortgage product.
