Mountain House is one of San Joaquin County's fastest-growing planned communities. Many residents here are immigrants building stable lives — and they deserve a real path to homeownership.
ITIN loans exist for borrowers who file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number instead of a Social Security number. No SSN required. Ownership is still possible.

Loan Type
You need a valid ITIN and two years of tax returns filed under that number. Lenders want to see consistent income and a paper trail — gaps in filing history cause problems.
Most ITIN lenders require 10–20% down. Credit history can be thin, but you typically need a score of 620 or two years of alternative credit references like rent and utility payments.
Big banks don't offer ITIN loans. Period. These are non-QM products held by specialty wholesale lenders — and not every broker has access to them.
SRK CAPITAL works with 200+ wholesale lenders, including those that specifically underwrite ITIN borrowers. We shop the program, not just the rate.
The biggest deal-killer I see: borrowers who've been filing taxes but listing minimal income to reduce tax liability. ITIN lenders use that reported income — it needs to support the payment.
If your tax returns show low income, ask about a bank statement ITIN program. Some lenders will average 12–24 months of deposits instead. That can change everything for self-employed buyers.
Foreign National loans are for non-residents without U.S. tax history. ITIN loans are for people living and working here — they require U.S. tax filings and typically offer better terms.
Bank Statement loans can work alongside ITIN programs for self-employed borrowers. Asset Depletion loans are another alternative if you have savings but irregular income.
Mountain House attracts working families priced out of the Bay Area. Many are first-generation buyers with strong income but nontraditional credit profiles — exactly who ITIN loans serve.
San Joaquin County has a large agricultural and service workforce with significant immigrant population. Demand for ITIN financing here is real, but local retail lenders rarely offer it.
Yes, with a valid ITIN, two years of tax returns, and enough down payment. You don't need a Social Security number or U.S. citizenship.
Most ITIN programs require 10–20% down. The exact amount depends on your credit profile and the lender's guidelines.
Yes, typically higher than conventional loans. These are non-QM products and carry more lender risk. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
Some ITIN lenders accept alternative credit — think 12–24 months of on-time rent, utilities, or insurance payments in place of a traditional score.
Yes. Self-employed ITIN borrowers may qualify using tax returns or bank statements, depending on the lender's program guidelines.
Mountain House offers newer construction and planned-community amenities. It draws working families — a profile that often aligns well with ITIN borrower finances.
