What is Foreign National?

Foreign National Loans Requirements

Basic Qualifications

  • Valid passport from country of citizenship
  • US visa (if applicable) or proof of legal entry
  • Down payment of 25-30% typically required
  • Foreign bank statements or income documentation
  • Property must be in the United States
  • Cash reserves (typically 6-12 months)

Required Documents

  • Valid passport (unexpired)
  • US visa documentation (if applicable)
  • Foreign bank statements (3-6 months)
  • Employment verification letter
  • International credit report (if available)
  • Proof of funds for down payment and reserves

How It Works

Foreign national loans are designed specifically for non-US citizens who want to purchase property in the United States. The qualification process differs from traditional mortgages because it accommodates borrowers without US credit history or Social Security numbers. Instead, lenders evaluate your international financial profile, including foreign bank statements, employment verification from your home country, and international credit reports when available. The process typically involves providing your passport, visa documentation (if applicable), proof of funds for the down payment and reserves, and income verification from your employer or business. Because these loans carry additional risk for lenders, they typically require larger down payments (25-30%) and may have slightly higher interest rates than conventional loans.
