Foreign National Loans in San Juan Bautista
Can I get a foreign national loan without visiting the US?
Yes, remote closings work with proper notarization and Power of Attorney arrangements. Most lenders allow this for foreign national borrowers.
01
San Juan Bautista attracts international buyers looking for California real estate without the crowds of Silicon Valley. Foreign national loans make that possible without a Social Security number or US credit history.
These non-QM programs use global income documentation and larger down payments instead of traditional US employment verification. Most lenders require 30-40% down for properties in smaller markets like San Benito County.
02
You need valid passport identification and proof of foreign income through tax returns or employment letters. Most lenders require reserves covering 6-12 months of mortgage payments.
Credit is evaluated through international credit reports or alternative documentation. The property must be your primary documentation anchor since US credit scores don't apply.
