Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

      On June 27, 2007, American Home Mortgage Investment Corp. (the "Company")
entered into a commitment letter with certain funds advised by Marathon Asset
Management, LLC ("Marathon") whereby Marathon agreed to purchase $125 million
principal amount of 9.75% convertible junior subordinated trust preferred
securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") on or prior to June 28, 2007
subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. On June 28, 2007, the
Company announced that it had executed a Purchase Agreement and completed the
sale of the Trust Preferred Securities by AHM Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), a
newly-formed statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
All of the Trust Common Securities (in an aggregate principal amount of
$3,866,000) are owned by the Company. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is
attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy
of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust (the "Trust Agreement") is
attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

      The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust securities to
purchase 9.75% junior subordinated convertible debentures, due July 1, 2037, in
the principal amount of $128,866,000 issued by the Company (the "Debentures"),
the payments on which will be used to satisfy the Trust's obligations on the
trust securities. The Debentures were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated June
28, 2007 among the Company and Wilmington Trust Company as Debenture Trustee. A
copy of the Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated
herein by reference.

      Holders of Trust Preferred Securities have the right to convert their
Trust Preferred Securities into shares of the Company's common stock (by
exchanging such Trust Preferred Securities for Debentures which then are
converted into common stock) at an initial conversion price of $25.57 per share,
subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. The conversion price may be reset
on certain dates and upon the occurrence of certain events, all as set forth in
the Indenture and Trust Agreement. The Company has agreed to file a Registration
Statement with respect to the common stock underlying the Trust Preferred
Securities within 90 days following the closing date pursuant to a Registration
Rights Agreement dated June 28, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

      Neither the Trust Preferred Securities, the Common Securities, the
underlying common stock, nor the Debentures have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and
unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except
pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

      The Company issued a press release on June 28, 2007 in connection with the
closing of the transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as
Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.02   Results of Operations and Financial Condition

suspending its earnings guidance. A copy of the press release is attached as
Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.



      The information included in the press release is deemed to be "filed"
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As
such, it will be expressly incorporated into a filing of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act made after the date
