Question 1

Can I buy in Trinidad with just an ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't need a Social Security number. A valid ITIN with two years of tax filings is the foundation of this loan.

Question 2

How is my interest rate determined without a SSN?

Accepted Answer

Lenders look at your ITIN credit profile, down payment size, and income documentation. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 3

What documents do ITIN borrowers need?

Accepted Answer

Bring your ITIN letter, two years of tax returns, 12 months of bank statements, and proof of employment or self-employment income.

Question 4

Do any Trinidad lenders offer ITIN loans directly?

Accepted Answer

Most local banks don't. ITIN loans come through non-QM wholesale lenders — which is exactly where a broker like SRK CAPITAL has access.

Question 5

Is a bigger down payment required for ITIN loans?

Accepted Answer

Generally yes — 15–25% is standard. A larger down payment can also improve your rate and approval odds.

Question 6

How long does ITIN loan approval take in California?

Accepted Answer

Expect 30–45 days minimum. Non-QM files take more underwriting time. Starting early is critical in a tight market like Trinidad.
