What We Are — and What We Are Not
AmericaPolicy publishes researched, fact-checked explainers. We are not a licensed insurance agency, law firm, mortgage brokerage, or registered investment adviser, and nothing here is personalised advice. We do not sell policies, take applications, or receive commissions for referrals.
What we do is read the primary material — regulator guidance, statute, government programme rules, and industry statistics — and set it out in plain English, with a link to the source next to the claim so you can confirm it yourself. Where a number depends on your state, your circumstances, or the week you read it, we say so rather than inventing a national average.
For a decision that affects your money, your home, or your legal position, speak to a licensed professional in your state. Our guides are there to help you arrive at that conversation knowing which questions to ask.
How We Research These Guides
Every guide is built from publicly available primary sources rather than from other blogs. The bodies we rely on most:
- Insurance: the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, individual state Departments of Insurance, and the Insurance Information Institute
- Consumer finance and credit: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
- Mortgages: FHFA conforming loan limits, HUD/FHA programme rules, and Freddie Mac's weekly rate survey
- Tax and retirement: IRS published contribution limits and guidance
- Small business lending: the U.S. Small Business Administration
Two rules govern the numbers we publish. First, a figure gets a citation or it does not get stated as fact. Second, where a rate or premium moves too often to pin down — mortgage rates, insurance premiums, attorney fees — we describe the range and direction and link to the source that maintains the live figure, instead of quoting a precise number that will be wrong within months.
About the Author: Abdullah Javed
Abdullah Javed researches and writes AmericaPolicy's guides. He holds no insurance, legal, mortgage, or securities licence and does not present himself as a practitioner in any of those fields; his role is to read the source material carefully and explain it accurately.
The guides here concentrate on decisions where the published rules are genuinely hard to parse:
- What an auto or homeowners policy actually covers, and which factors move the premium
- How contingency, flat, and hourly legal fees work before you sign a fee agreement
- How FHA and conventional mortgages differ on down payment, credit, and mortgage insurance
- How 401(k) and IRA contribution limits and employer matching operate in practice
- What SBA and revolving business credit underwriting requires from an applicant
Corrections are welcome and acted on. If you find a figure that is out of date or a source that no longer supports the claim, tell us and we will fix it and note the change.
Editorial Independence and Funding
- How we are funded: display advertising. Advertisers have no sight of or input into our content.
- No sponsored placements: we do not accept payment for coverage, rankings, or recommendations.
- No affiliate links at present: outbound links are editorial references to primary sources. If that changes, we will disclose it on the page and beside the link.
- Sourced claims: statistics carry a link to the body that published them, so you can check the figure and its date.
- Corrections: errors are fixed on the page rather than quietly removed.
