Question 1

Can I buy in Needles with just an ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ITIN loans are specifically designed for this. You need a valid ITIN, tax history, and down payment funds — not an SSN.

Question 2

What down payment do ITIN loans require?

Accepted Answer

Most ITIN lenders want 10–20% down. Your credit profile and reserve funds affect where in that range you land.

Question 3

Do I need to be a US citizen to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. ITIN loans are available to non-citizens who reside in the US and file taxes with an ITIN. Citizenship is not required.

Question 4

Will my rate be higher than a conventional loan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, typically. ITIN loans are non-QM products and carry higher rates than conventional financing. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 5

What if I have no US credit history?

Accepted Answer

Some lenders accept alternative credit like rent records, utility payments, or international credit reports. Not all do — lender selection matters.

Question 6

Can I use an ITIN loan for a rental property in Needles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many ITIN lenders allow investment property purchases. Expect a larger down payment and stricter reserve requirements than for a primary residence.
