The biggest mistake foreign buyers make is assuming all lenders work the same. They don't. Reserves matter a lot here.

ITIN loans are a close cousin. If you have an ITIN number, you may qualify for better terms than a foreign national loan.
DSCR loans are another option if you're buying a rental. The property's rent income drives approval — not your personal income.

Imperial County borders Mexico. Many cross-border buyers target this area for agricultural land and investment properties.
