Question 1

Can I buy a home in Grand Terrace with just an ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't need a Social Security number. Lenders use your ITIN, tax history, and income documents to underwrite the loan.

Question 2

How much do I need for a down payment on an ITIN loan?

Accepted Answer

Most ITIN lenders require 15-20% down. A larger down payment can help if your credit score is on the lower end.

Question 3

Will my ITIN loan rate be higher than a conventional rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ITIN loans are non-QM, so they carry a rate premium over conventional loans. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

Do I need to be a U.S. citizen to get an ITIN loan?

Accepted Answer

No. ITIN loans are designed for non-citizens who file U.S. taxes. Legal residency status requirements vary by lender.

Question 5

Can a self-employed borrower qualify for an ITIN loan in Grand Terrace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many ITIN borrowers are self-employed. Bank statements or tax returns both work as income proof at most non-QM lenders.
