ITIN Loans in Laguna Niguel
Most ITIN lenders want 12-24 months of bank statements or tax returns. They're verifying income, not your immigration status.
Credit requirements vary by lender. Some accept foreign credit history. Others want 12 months of on-time payment history inside the U.S.
ITIN loans are non-QM products. That means most big banks won't touch them. You need a broker with access to non-QM wholesale lenders.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders, including non-QM shops that actively price ITIN loans. We shop them against each other.
The biggest mistake I see: borrowers apply at a retail bank and get rejected. Then they assume they can't buy. That's wrong.
ITIN loans require more documentation prep than a conventional loan. Get your last two years of tax returns and 12 months of bank statements ready before you apply.
If you have a Social Security number, a conventional or FHA loan will almost always give you better rates. ITIN loans carry non-QM pricing.
