About program
Foreign National loans are special mortgage programs designed for non-U.S. citizens who live abroad (and sometimes recent immigrants as well) who want to purchase or refinance property in the United States. These borrowers typically do not have Social Security numbers, U.S. credit history, or income verifiable through U.S. means. Foreign National loan programs accommodate this by allowing alternative documentation: for example, using foreign credit reports or bank reference letters, accepting income documents from the borrower’s home country, or focusing on asset-based qualification.
