Mortgages for non-U.S. resident buyers
A foreign national loan is a mortgage program built specifically for non-U.S. citizens who don't have permanent residency (no green card) and often no U.S. credit history — including international investors and buyers purchasing a second home or investment property in the United States.
Since traditional U.S. credit scoring usually isn't available, these loans rely on alternative verification: international credit and banking references, larger down payments, and documented reserves.
