Mountain View has one of the highest immigrant populations in Santa Clara County. Many residents earn strong incomes but don't have a Social Security number.

Program Type
You need a valid ITIN and at least two years of tax returns filed with it. Lenders want to see consistent income and a real credit history.
Most lenders require a 620–660 minimum credit score. Down payments typically start at 15–20% for ITIN borrowers.

Some lenders will use alternative credit — rent history, utility payments, phone bills. Not all will. Ask before you assume.
Foreign National loans are a close cousin to ITIN loans, but they're built for non-residents. ITIN borrowers typically live and work here full-time.
Bank Statement loans can pair well if you're self-employed. Some lenders let ITIN borrowers qualify on 12–24 months of bank statements instead of tax returns.
