Foreign National Loans in Rohnert Park
Foreign national loans are non-QM products. That means they sit outside standard Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines.
Most lenders require a valid passport, visa documentation, and proof of foreign income or assets. Down payments typically start at 25-30%.
Most retail banks won't touch foreign national loans. This is a wholesale and portfolio lender product almost exclusively.
At SRK CAPITAL, we work with 200+ wholesale lenders. Several specialize in foreign national programs with competitive terms.
The biggest deal-killer we see: buyers assume any lender will work. Foreign national loans require a very specific lender match.
Get your documents in order before making an offer. Passport, visa, two months of foreign bank statements, and a reference letter from your home country bank.
If you have an ITIN number, you may qualify for an ITIN loan instead — often with a lower down payment requirement.
DSCR loans are another option if you're buying an investment property. Income documentation matters less when the rental numbers work.
Rohnert Park is one of Sonoma County's more affordable cities. That makes it attractive for foreign buyers priced out of Healdsburg or Santa Rosa.
Short-term rental demand is real in this region. A foreign national buyer here could pursue a DSCR refinance later once the property has rental history.
Some lenders approve foreign nationals on a tourist visa. Requirements vary — a broker who knows this niche is essential.
Not always. Foreign bank statements are accepted by most foreign national lenders. A reference letter from your home bank helps.
Plan for 25-30% down. Some lenders go higher depending on your country of origin and asset profile.

30-45 days is typical. International document verification adds time — start early.
