Choosing The Best Mortgage With A Foreign National Loan
A mortgage to a non-resident is called a Foreign National Mortgage loan. Down payment requirements are usually higher for foreign national borrowers. The minimum down payment is usually 20% of the total purchase price of the property. This is also referred to as an 80% Loan to Value “LTV” loan.
Types of lenders
The most common types of banks, lenders or mortgage companies to offer Foreign National Mortgage loans are those in and around major cities. These lenders are situated where there is a large foreign national population base due to high immigration rates.
Lenders do prefer a credit report from the home country, although some will take three credit reference letters from the borrower. The credit report is much like our own in the U.S. but without scores, as their scoring systems are different from our own. There are agencies in the U.S. that obtain the data, conform it to U.S. regulations and provide the background checks (verification of employment, verification of an existence of a company for the self-employed) ) and anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, OFAC and red flag rules.
