Big banks don't offer ITIN loans. This is strictly a non-QM product, meaning specialty wholesale lenders handle it.
That's where a broker earns their value. We shop 200+ wholesale lenders to find which ones price ITIN loans best for your file. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
04
The most common mistake I see: borrowers try to go directly to a retail lender and get turned away. ITIN loans require a lender who specializes in this product.
Documentation is the make-or-break factor. Clean tax returns, 12 months of bank statements, and a paper trail on your down payment — get those ready before you apply.
05
If you have a Social Security number, conventional or FHA loans will get you better rates. ITIN loans carry higher rates because of non-QM risk pricing.
Foreign National loans are a different product — designed for non-residents who don't live in the US. ITIN loans are for people who live here, work here, and pay taxes here.
06
Calexico's proximity to Mexicali means many buyers have cross-border income or employment. Some ITIN lenders accept foreign employer income — but documentation requirements are strict.
Imperial County home prices are lower than most California metros. That works in your favor. A smaller loan amount means a more manageable down payment on a non-QM product.
