03
Very few retail banks touch foreign national loans. This is a non-QM product — meaning it lives in the wholesale and private lending space.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize specifically in foreign national programs with competitive terms.
04
The biggest delay I see is documentation. Get your foreign bank statements translated and notarized before you start shopping properties.
Visa type matters more than most buyers expect. B-1 and B-2 visa holders face stricter terms than E-2 or L-1 visa holders on most programs.
05
ITIN loans are worth comparing if you live in the US part-time and have a tax history here. They sometimes come with better rates than foreign national programs.
DSCR loans judge the property's rental income, not your personal income or nationality. For Adelanto investment properties, that can be a cleaner path.
06
Adelanto has a significant rental market, which matters for foreign nationals buying as investors. A property that cash flows supports your loan file.
San Bernardino County has no local transfer tax beyond state requirements. That keeps closing costs more predictable for out-of-country buyers.
