ITIN Loans in Dana Point
Can I buy in Dana Point without a Social Security number?
Yes. An ITIN issued by the IRS qualifies you for non-QM lenders. You don't need a Social Security number or U.S. citizenship.

02
You need a valid ITIN issued by the IRS. Lenders verify your identity and tax history, not your immigration status.

Most big banks won't touch ITIN loans. You need a non-QM lender or a community lender with a dedicated ITIN program.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several have strong ITIN programs built for borrowers in high-cost California markets.
04
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers apply at a single bank, get denied, and assume homeownership isn't possible. It usually is.
ITIN loans price higher than conventional loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions. Strong reserves and a larger down payment bring your rate down.
05
Foreign National loans skip the ITIN requirement but demand larger down payments — often 30% or more. ITIN loans are generally more flexible.
Bank Statement loans are another non-QM option. They work well if your ITIN tax returns show low taxable income due to business deductions.
06
Dana Point properties run high. Loan amounts on ITIN products at many lenders cap around $2-3M, but program limits vary — ask your broker.
As of April 2026, Orange County's coastal inventory stays tight. ITIN borrowers who are pre-qualified move faster when a listing hits.
