Can I buy a home with an ITIN number?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
Yes. ITIN loans let borrowers with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number instead of a Social Security number finance a home. They're widely used in Florida's immigrant communities.
Expect a higher down payment, often 15% to 20%, and documentation of income and identity. Rates are a bit above conventional, but it's a real path to ownership. We work with lenders who specialize in ITIN files.

What ITIN loans require
ITIN loans usually ask for a larger down payment, often 10% to 20%, and proof of steady income through pay stubs, bank statements, or tax filings. Credit can be built through alternative history like rent and utility payments.
