ITIN Loans in Livingston
Livingston's agricultural economy employs thousands of ITIN holders who earn steady income but lack traditional documentation. Most conventional lenders reject these borrowers outright, even when they have years of tax returns and strong payment history.
ITIN loans exist specifically for this gap. You prove income through tax filings, bank records, or pay stubs — no SSN required. Approval hinges on your ability to repay, not your immigration status.
You need a valid ITIN, 15-20% down payment, and two years of filed tax returns. Credit scores start at 620, though some lenders accept 580 with compensating factors like larger down payments.
Employment stability matters more than job type. A farm supervisor with three years at the same employer beats a contractor with higher income but inconsistent work. Lenders want proof you'll keep earning.
Maybe 15 of our 200+ lenders fund ITIN loans. They charge 0.5-1.5% higher rates than conventional loans because they can't sell these mortgages to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
Each lender has different income documentation rules. One accepts paystubs and bank deposits, another demands CPA-prepared tax returns. We match your documentation to the lender most likely to approve.
Livingston borrowers often torpedo their own deals by mixing personal and business deposits in one account. Lenders see that $8,000 deposit and ask if it's income or a loan from family. Clean records close faster.
The best ITIN files we see have 24 months of consistent bank deposits, zero overdrafts, and tax returns that match W-2s or 1099s. Anything unexplained adds 2-3 weeks to underwriting while you chase documentation.
Bank Statement Loans skip tax returns entirely if you show 12-24 months of deposits. That works for cash-heavy workers, but rates run higher and down payments start at 20%. ITIN loans cost less when you have filed returns.
Foreign National Loans serve non-residents buying investment property. Those require 30-40% down and accept foreign credit history. ITIN loans are for people living and working here who need lower down payments.
Livingston's $200,000-$400,000 price range keeps ITIN loans viable. A 20% down payment means $40,000-$80,000 cash, which farm supervisors and small business owners save over 3-5 years of steady work.
Merced County property taxes run about 1.1% annually, and most lenders require full tax and insurance escrows on ITIN loans. Budget an extra $400-$600 monthly beyond your principal and interest payment.
Some lenders accept 15% down with 680+ credit and strong reserves. Anything below 15% is rare and comes with significantly higher rates.
Yes, expect 45-60 days instead of 30. Underwriters manually review every tax return and bank statement since automated verification systems don't work with ITINs.
Switch to Bank Statement Loans. Lenders use your deposits instead of taxable income, which works better for self-employed borrowers with heavy write-offs.
Most don't, but some portfolio lenders charge 1-3% if you pay off within three years. We only use those lenders when no other option exists.
