Question 1

Can I buy a home in Rancho Santa Margarita with an ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ITIN loans are designed for this. You need tax history, U.S. credit, and a solid down payment.

Question 2

Do I need a green card or visa to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. ITIN loans don't require immigration status documentation. Your ITIN and tax history drive the qualification.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for an ITIN loan?

Accepted Answer

Most programs want 620 or higher. Some lenders go lower with a larger down payment.

Question 4

How many years of taxes do I need filed with my ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Two years is the standard. Consistent income across both years strengthens your file.

Yes. These are non-QM loans, so rates run higher. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 6

Can I use an ITIN loan to buy a condo in RSM?
