04
Foreign national loans make sense in San Ramon when you have substantial equity or foreign assets but lack US credit history. The $1,483,516 median price and 80 percent loan-to-value cap mean you'll typically put down 20 percent or more.
Conventional and FHA loans underwrite on US credit and income. Foreign national financing underwrites on property value and assets, which suits international buyers without US financial history.
05
Foreign national loans and conventional mortgages both finance homes in San Ramon, but they underwrite very differently. Conventional loans rely on credit scores and W-2 income; foreign national loans rely on the property and your down payment.
A conventional buyer with US credit and income qualifies through that documentation path. A foreign national buyer without US history can still purchase here by bringing a larger down payment and foreign asset documentation.
