03
Most banks won't touch foreign national loans. This is non-QM territory — non-traditional lending outside standard guidelines.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in foreign national programs with competitive terms.
04
Visa type is the first thing I check. B-1/B-2 visitor visas face the toughest restrictions. H-1B and L-1 holders have more options.
Foreign income documentation is where deals stall. Get your last 2 years of foreign tax returns translated and certified before you apply.
05
If you have an ITIN number, an ITIN loan may give you better terms than a foreign national program. More lenders compete for that business.
DSCR loans are another path if you're buying a rental property in Greenfield. Income from the property — not yours — qualifies the loan.
06
Greenfield's economy runs on agriculture. Many buyers here are seasonal workers or farm managers with income that fluctuates year to year.
Property prices in the Salinas Valley tend to run lower than coastal Monterey County. That helps — a smaller loan is easier to qualify for with a large down payment.
