Foreign National Mortgage Solutions

Purchasing U.S. real estate without U.S. citizenship — specialized programs for international buyers and investors.

Overview

Foreign nationals can purchase residential and investment property in the United States through specialized non-QM mortgage programs. No Social Security Number, ITIN, or U.S. credit history is required. Qualification is based on passport documentation, international credit references, and assets. Popular with Canadian, European, Latin American, and Asian buyers.

Common Challenges

Here's what often makes financing harder — and how we solve it.

No U.S. Credit History

International credit references and bank letters are used instead.

Currency & Documentation

Foreign income and assets require proper documentation and sometimes translation.

Finding the Right Lender

Many U.S. lenders don't offer foreign national programs. Broker access helps.

Qualification Tips

1

Have your international bank provide a credit reference letter in English.

2

Prepare 3–6 months of international bank statements showing adequate assets.

3

Budget for a 25–40% down payment — foreign national programs require higher equity.

4

Obtain U.S. property insurance and consider working with a U.S.-based real estate attorney.
