Foreign National Mortgage Guidance

Foreign-national borrowers exploring a U.S. property purchase may have documentation, asset, credit-history, residency, and property questions that deserve careful review. NorthStar Funding can help you understand the questions to raise before choosing a financing path.

Prepare for a complete review

A lender may need to review identity, residency, income, assets, source of funds, property use, and documents from outside the United States. Translation and currency-conversion requirements can vary by lender and loan file.

Property and occupancy questions

Property type, occupancy, title, appraisal, and any rental use can affect available options. Ask about these factors before making assumptions about qualification or terms.

Questions borrowers ask

Can limited U.S. credit history be reviewed?

Possibly. The documentation a lender can consider varies by program and loan file.

Are terms guaranteed from this page?

No. Programs, documentation, terms, and qualification are subject to lender review and can change.
