What Is a Foreign National Loan?
A Foreign National Loan is a mortgage option designed for non-citizens who want to purchase, refinance, or invest in property without all the U.S.* qualifying requirements. Instead of relying strictly on U.S. credit or residency, these programs accept foreign income, assets, alternative documentation, and often consider property cash flow.
