Retail banks rarely touch foreign national loans. Most are offered by portfolio lenders and private money sources — lenders who keep loans on their own books.
Rate premiums are real on these programs. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions, but expect to pay more than a conventional borrower would.
04
The biggest deal-killer is documentation. Foreign buyers often underestimate what US lenders want — bank statements, proof of funds, and a foreign credit letter all help.
Purchase structure matters too. Some buyers prefer LLC ownership for privacy or estate planning. That changes the loan program and the lender pool significantly.
05
ITIN loans are a closer fit for borrowers living and working in the US. Foreign national programs are built for buyers who reside outside the country.
DSCR loans overlap here for investment properties. If the Huntington Beach rental income covers the payment, DSCR can sometimes offer better terms than a foreign national product.
06
