Obtenir un prêt immobilier aux États-Unis quand on vient de France, c'est toute une aventure… et un tout nouveau vocabulaire ! 🏦💸

Pas toujours facile de s'y retrouver entre le taux brut, les assurances et le crédit. Voici votre décodeur express de la partie Financement & Prêt Hypothécaire (Mortgage) 🇺🇸 ➔ 🇫🇷 :

📌 1. Mortgage Rates & APR

Traduction : Taux hypothécaire & TAEG

En clair : Le Mortgage Rate est le taux d'intérêt brut. L'APR est encore plus important : c'est le coût total annuel du prêt, incluant les frais de dossier, de courtage et de fermeture.

📌 2. HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit)

Traduction : Marge de crédit hypothécaire

En clair : Une ligne de crédit renouvelable adossée à la valeur nette (l'équité) déjà remboursée de votre logement. Très populaire aux US pour financer des travaux.

📌 3. PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)

Traduction : Assurance prêt hypothécaire

En clair : Une assurance exigée par la banque si votre apport personnel (down payment) est inférieur à 20 % du prix d'achat du bien.

📌 4. Amortization

Traduction : Amortissement (Tableau d'amortissement)

En clair : L'échéancier détaillé qui montre comment chaque mensualité est répartie entre le remboursement du capital emprunté (principal) et le paiement des intérêts.

📌 5. Reverse Mortgage

Traduction : Prêt viager hypothécaire / Hypothèque inversée

En clair : Un produit financier réservé aux séniors (62 ans+) permettant de convertir la valeur de leur logement en liquidités, sans mensualités à rembourser de leur vivant.
