WHAT IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL MORTGAGE LOAN?
A foreign national mortgage is a financing option designed for eligible borrowers who are not U.S. citizens and may not have an established U.S. credit history or traditional American income documentation.
Depending on the lender and loan program, financing may be available to certain foreign nationals, permanent residents, and non-permanent residents who meet the applicable eligibility requirements.
These mortgage programs can be particularly relevant for individuals looking to purchase a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property in Vermont.
WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A FOREIGN NATIONAL LOAN?
Qualification requirements vary considerably by lender, immigration or residency status, and property type. Factors that may be considered include:
Residency and Identification: Valid identification and documentation establishing your applicable residency or immigration status.
Income Verification: Documentation of employment, business income, or other qualifying income sources.
Credit History: U.S. credit records, international credit information, or alternative credit references, where permitted.
Down Payment: Available funds for the down payment and applicable closing costs.
Financial Assets: Bank statements and documentation of assets held in the United States or internationally.
Additional documentation or translated financial records may be necessary.
