Question 1

Can I get a foreign national loan without a U.S. credit score?

Yes. Several wholesale lenders accept foreign credit history or underwrite based on assets and down payment. A larger down payment helps your case.

Question 2

Do I need a U.S. bank account to qualify?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders require funds to be in a U.S. account before closing. You'll need to document the international wire transfer source clearly.

Question 3

What visa types are accepted for foreign national loans in California?

Accepted Answer

B1, B2, and other non-immigrant visas are commonly accepted. Visa-exempt country nationals may also qualify — it depends on the lender.

Question 4

How much do I need to put down on a Rialto property?

Accepted Answer

Expect 25-30% minimum for most foreign national programs. Some lenders require more depending on property type and borrower country of origin.

Question 5

Can a foreign national buy an investment property in Rialto?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many foreign national buyers in the Inland Empire are targeting investment or rental properties. A DSCR loan may also be worth comparing.

Question 6

How long does a foreign national loan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 30-45 days minimum. Documentation from overseas takes time to gather and verify. Starting early prevents delays.
