Moorpark sits in Ventura County — a stable, family-oriented suburb that attracts international buyers looking for a foothold in Southern California.
Foreign nationals can own property in the U.S. No green card required. But the loan process looks very different from a standard mortgage.

Loan Type
Lenders want to verify your identity, your assets, and your ability to repay. A valid foreign passport is required. U.S. credit history is not.
Most programs require 30% down or more. Reserves matter heavily — expect lenders to want 12 months of payments sitting in a verifiable account.
Most retail banks won't touch foreign national loans. This is a wholesale and portfolio lender space — which is exactly where we operate.
We work with 200+ wholesale lenders. A handful specialize in foreign national programs. Rates vary significantly across them. Shopping matters here.
The biggest mistake we see: foreign buyers come in with cash-heavy profiles but no U.S. paper trail. That's fine — but you need the right lender.
Asset documentation is everything on these files. Bank statements from foreign institutions must often be translated and sometimes notarized. Start gathering them early.
If you have an ITIN number and some U.S. credit history, an ITIN loan may get you better terms than a foreign national program.
DSCR loans are another option if you're buying a rental. They qualify on the property's income — not yours. That sidesteps the documentation problem entirely.
Moorpark is a low-turnover market. Homes here hold value well, which helps with lender confidence on foreign national files.
Ventura County escrow and title companies handle international transactions regularly. That reduces closing friction for foreign buyers compared to smaller markets.
No. Most lenders accept a foreign passport as identification. Some also accept an ITIN, but it's not required for foreign national programs.
Yes. A DSCR loan is often the cleanest path — it qualifies on the property's rental income, not your personal foreign income.
Expect 30% minimum. Some lenders require 35-40% depending on your country of origin and asset documentation.
Yes, but they must be translated into English. Some lenders also require notarization. Start gathering these documents early.
Plan for 30-45 days minimum. Document translation and lender review of foreign assets can add time. Don't rush the prep phase.
Yes. These are non-QM loans — lenders price in the added risk. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions.
