Who are Foreign National Loans for?
Foreign National Loans primarily serve international investors and professionals who reside outside the United States but recognize the long-term value of assets. Specifically, this product suits individuals who want to diversify their global holdings with residential or commercial property in high-demand markets like Los Angeles or San Francisco. In addition, it is an excellent fit for those who possess significant capital in their home country but lack the traditional credentials required by domestic retail banks. While most lenders find cross-border financing too complex, we focus on the borrower’s global financial strength and the property’s value. Therefore, if you are a citizen of another country looking to own a piece of California, this program provides a direct and secure financial path.
Not a perfect fit?
However, if you already live in the U.S. and possess an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, you should explore our ITIN Loans instead.

What is Needed to Qualify?
To qualify for Foreign National Loans, the documentation focuses on your international identity and your ability to transfer funds for the acquisition. To begin, our team utilizes a seamless digital collection process to organize your global documents securely.
First, you must provide a copy of your valid passport and, if applicable, a current U.S. visa. Next, you should prepare an employer letter or accountant’s letter from your home country to verify your income and professional standing. Finally, gather your last three months of international bank statements to show the source and seasoning of your down payment funds. Indeed, having these records ready allows our Lab to architect a seamless cross-border closing.
