Question 1

Can I buy in Dunsmuir without a US credit score?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Foreign national loans don't require US credit history. Lenders use alternative documentation like foreign bank statements and asset verification instead.

Question 2

What visa types qualify for a foreign national loan?

Accepted Answer

Work and investor visas typically qualify. Tourist visas like B-1 and B-2 usually do not. Your visa type must be verified before we can match you with a program.

Question 3

How much do I need to put down in Dunsmuir?

Accepted Answer

Expect 30-40% down on most foreign national programs. Larger down payments often unlock better rates. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.

Question 4

Can I rent out the Dunsmuir property?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and if rental income is the primary repayment strategy, a DSCR loan may fit better. We'll compare both programs based on your situation.

Question 5

Do I need a US bank account to qualify?

Accepted Answer

No. Most programs accept foreign bank accounts. Statements typically need certified English translations and may require a CPA letter confirming the source of funds.

Question 6

How long does a foreign national loan take to close?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 30-45 days minimum. Document translation and international wire verification add time. Starting paperwork early is the single best way to stay on schedule.
