Loan Type
You need a valid ITIN, a credit history, and enough income to support the payment. Lenders verify income differently than conventional loans.
Most ITIN lenders want 12-24 months of bank statements or tax returns filed with your ITIN. Two years of self-employment history helps.
Big banks won't touch ITIN loans. This is a non-QM product — meaning it lives in the wholesale and portfolio lending world.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in ITIN lending and understand how to document non-traditional borrowers.
The biggest deal-killer I see with ITIN borrowers is thin credit. You need at least 2-3 active tradelines — credit cards, auto loans, utilities reporting.
If your credit is thin, start building it now. A secured card reporting for 12 months can be the difference between approval and denial.
Foreign National Loans are built for non-residents without U.S. credit. ITIN loans are for people living and working here — different profile, better terms.
Bank Statement Loans overlap with ITIN products. If you have an ITIN and are self-employed, you may qualify for both. We find the better fit.
Loma Linda's job base is anchored by Loma Linda University Medical Center. Many immigrant healthcare workers here hold ITINs and earn strong incomes.
San Bernardino County has lower price points than LA or Orange County. That matters — a 15-20% down payment is more reachable here.
Yes. You need a valid ITIN, documented income, and established credit. No Social Security number required.
Most lenders want a 620 or higher. Thin credit can be a bigger issue than score — you need active tradelines.
Expect 10-20% down for most ITIN loan programs. Lower down payments are rare but possible with strong credit.
Yes. Rates are higher because it's non-QM. Shopping multiple lenders through a broker reduces that gap. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Yes. If you build U.S. credit and your ITIN is still valid, refinancing into a better rate is possible down the road.
Typically 12-24 months of bank statements or ITIN-filed tax returns. Two years of consistent income history is ideal.
