Buying or refinancing a home can be a complex and daunting process, but you don’t have to do it alone. You need a trusted partner who can guide you through every step and help you achieve your goals. That’s why you need American Dream Mortgage LLC, a loan program offered by U.S. Bank.
American Dream Mortgage LLC is more than just a mortgage. It’s a comprehensive solution that provides you with assistance to cover some or all of your down payment, closing costs, required repairs or improvements, and mortgage insurance. It also offers a competitive, fixed interest rate for the life of the loan, which is 30 years.
Whether you are a first-time home buyer, a current homeowner looking to refinance, or a veteran, American Dream Mortgage LLC can help you find the best option for your situation. You can choose from different types of assistance, such as a grant, a second mortgage, or a mortgage credit certificate, depending on the program you qualify for.
To qualify for American Dream Mortgage LLC, you need to meet certain criteria, such as:
- Your income needs to be equal to or below the median income in the area you want to buy a home, or the property you are purchasing must be in a low-to-moderate income census tract. You can check median incomes by location.
- Your FICO Score must be at least 640 (or 680 if you’re interested in a property with more than one unit). If you don’t have a FICO Score, the program can use alternative credit data like your monthly rent, utility payments, income and employment information.
