Foreign National Loans

Buying U.S. property without U.S. citizenship or a traditional U.S. credit file? There's a path — and we know it.

Foreign national financing serves buyers who don't have U.S. citizenship, permanent residency, or a conventional U.S. credit history — including investors and second-home buyers purchasing property in the States.

These programs use alternative documentation to establish identity, funds and creditworthiness, so a thin or non-existent U.S. credit file doesn't have to stop a qualified buyer.

Who it’s for

Non-resident buyers

Purchase U.S. property without U.S. citizenship or residency.

Overseas investors

Build a U.S. rental or second-home portfolio from abroad.

No U.S. credit file

Alternative documentation stands in for a traditional U.S. credit history.

We manage underwriting to the finish line and hand you off to a smooth closing day.

Common questions

Can I get a mortgage without a green card?

Yes. Foreign national programs are built for buyers who aren't U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Do I need a U.S. credit score?

Not necessarily — lenders use alternative documentation such as international credit references or bank letters.

What can I buy?

Typically second homes and investment properties; some programs allow primary residences. We'll match you to the right one.

How is this different from an ITIN loan?

ITIN loans serve borrowers who have a U.S. Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (often residents without an SSN); foreign national loans serve non-residents. See our ITIN page.
