Canyon Lake is a private, gated community in Riverside County. That exclusivity attracts international buyers who want a secured lakefront lifestyle.
Foreign national loans make that possible. These are non-QM programs built for non-US citizens who can't use standard income documentation.

Most lenders want 30-40% down from foreign nationals. Larger down payments offset the risk of lending to non-US residents.
You'll need a valid passport and visa documentation. Some lenders also require a reference letter from a foreign bank.
Most retail banks won't touch foreign national loans. These programs live almost entirely in the wholesale and private lending space.

Canyon Lake properties often have HOA restrictions. Confirm the HOA allows non-owner-occupied purchases before locking a loan.
Rates vary significantly across lenders on foreign national loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions — shopping matters more here than on any conventional deal.
ITIN loans are a close alternative if you have a US tax ID. They sometimes allow lower down payments than foreign national programs.

Canyon Lake is deed-restricted and HOA-governed. Not every lender will approve loans inside private gated communities — confirm lender acceptance upfront.
