These programs are widely used for US investment property and second homes. Ownership can often be held personally or through a US LLC, which matters for tax and estate planning.
The right program removes the US-credit-file requirement entirely.
Qualification can proceed without a US FICO score using international references.
A passport and visa or entry document serve as the identity basis for the file.
Income earned abroad is used to qualify, documented per the program.
Designed for US investment property and second homes rather than primary occupancy.
Borrowers with an ITIN rather than an SSN have dedicated options.
Ownership can be structured through a US entity where appropriate.
