About our Owner David Frederickson


Born to a single mother serving in the Navy in 1979, I grew up with a unique upbringing, moving frequently as my mother and later my stepfather both served in the military. Constantly on the move, I never spent more than a year in the same school, which taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of stability—a lesson that now fuels my passion to help families secure their financial futures.

Today, I’m a proud husband and father of three adventurous boys and one beautiful little girl. Together, we embrace life through boating, fishing, and spending quality time as a family. As the founder of USA Wealth Builder, I’m dedicated to helping others achieve the financial freedom and security that I value deeply for my own family.

Understanding Critical Period Mortgage Protection: A Safety Net for Your Family

February 15, 20241 min read

Losing a loved one is devastating, and for many families, the emotional toll is compounded by financial strain—especially when a mortgage is involved. For seniors and individuals with health conditions who may not qualify for low-cost term life insurance, Critical Period Mortgage Protection offers a lifeline during this difficult time.

Instead of using traditional mortgage protection insurance to pay off the entire loan, Critical Period Mortgage Protection uses a final expense whole life insurance policy to cover mortgage and escrow payments for a specific period after death. This is often referred to as the “critical period”—typically the first 4 to 12 months, allowing the surviving family time to grieve without the immediate pressure of losing their home.

This safety net provides a window of opportunity for the family to make necessary decisions, such as selling the home, downsizing, or renting out a room for additional income. During this transition, they can avoid the stress of foreclosure or moving out while mourning.

Who Is Critical Period Mortgage Protection For?
This plan is especially valuable for seniors and individuals with health problems who may not qualify for traditional term insurance. It's a tailored solution designed to ensure their loved ones aren’t burdened with overwhelming costs while dealing with the loss of a primary income source.

Ultimately, Critical Period Mortgage Protection gives families the time and financial space to adjust, rather than rushing into tough decisions. It’s not just about protecting a home; it’s about giving your family peace of mind during the most challenging times.
