American Log Mortgage

Who would have guessed that the log home market was big enough to support a loan market of its own?  Well American Log Mortgages did and they have carved out that niche for themselves.   The log home market is a growing segment of the home real estate market.  Previously relegated to summer cabins and vacation homes, the log home is enjoy a renaissance these days.  Many home owners are choosing a log home for their primary residence.   These are primarily kit homes that can be customized to the individual buyers needs.  They also may be constructed from plans like any other home, but the majority come from log home dealers ready to assemble.  This sort of construction requires a special set of loans to go along with the log home construction process.  This is the specialty of American Log Mortgage.

American Log Mortgage’s lending specialists will take the time to get to know the specific needs of their clients.  A loan program will then be tailored to fit the clients requirements.  Innovations such as using land for the down payment and a  360 day rate lock are the hallmarks of an American Log Mortgage loan.
