ITIN History Needed
You need a valid ITIN and at least two years of U.S. tax filing history. Lenders want to see you've been paying taxes consistently.
Most lenders require 20% down. Credit history matters, but some lenders accept alternative credit like rent and utility payments.
Big banks almost never do ITIN loans. This is a non-QM product, meaning you need specialty wholesale lenders.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. A handful of them actively compete for ITIN business in Riverside County.
ITIN borrowers get declined all the time at the wrong lenders. The key is matching your file to a lender who actually wants it.
Income documentation varies. Some lenders take tax returns only. Others accept bank statements. Knowing which lender fits your income type saves weeks.
Foreign National loans are the other option for non-SSN borrowers. But Foreign National loans are for non-residents. ITIN loans are for people who live and work here.
