Question 1

Can I buy in Colfax with an ITIN instead of an SSN?

Yes. ITIN loans are designed for exactly this situation. You need a valid IRS-issued ITIN and at least two years of filed tax returns.

Question 2

What credit score do I need for an ITIN loan?

Accepted Answer

Many lenders accept non-traditional credit history. Some require a minimum score; others build credit profiles from rent, utility, and payment records.

Question 3

How much do I need to put down in Colfax?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 15–20% down minimum. A larger down payment strengthens your file and may open more lender options.

Accepted Answer

Yes, typically. Non-QM loans carry more lender risk. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Some lenders have acreage limits or property type restrictions. We check each lender's guidelines before you go under contract.
