ITIN lending is a specialist market. Most retail banks won't touch it; brokers like SRK CAPITAL access wholesale lenders who verify income from self-employment and rental properties.
Manual underwriting means no black-box decisioning. The lender reads your bank statements and tax returns. SRK CAPITAL closes ITIN loans in 17 to 21 days, or 10 days when expedited.
04
ITIN loans make sense in Chester for self-employed buyers and immigrants building U.S. credit. At $284,500 median price and 89 percent maximum LTV, you're looking at roughly $31,000 down on a median home.
The program doesn't fit if you need quick closing with minimal documentation. But if you have three years of tax returns and solid reserves, ITIN financing opens a door that conventional and FHA programs keep closed.
05
Versus conventional loans, ITIN financing accepts borrowers with no Social Security number. Conventional lenders demand SSN-based credit; ITIN lenders work with bank statements and business tax returns instead.
Versus FHA, ITIN loans carry a tighter 89 percent maximum LTV compared to FHA's 96.5 percent. Mortgage insurance structures differ by program, so ask your loan officer to confirm the specifics for your file.
