An ITIN mortgage lets taxpaying families buy a home without a Social Security number. The requirements center on a valid ITIN, a documented income history, and a down payment. You do not need to be a citizen or permanent resident. Here is what you need to gather before you apply.
What You Need to Qualify
The foundation is a valid Individual Taxpayer Identification Number and a record of filing U.S. taxes. Lenders use your filed returns or W-2s to confirm steady income.
Beyond your ITIN, the lender confirms your credit, down payment, and reserves to keep the loan sound. Your exact terms depend on the lender and your profile.
Credit Without a Traditional Score
Many ITIN borrowers do not have a traditional FICO score, so lenders often build credit from alternative tradelines: rent, utilities, auto insurance, and cell phone payment history.
A clean record across those accounts demonstrates reliability. Gather twelve months of payment history where you can, and we will help assemble the strongest possible file.
Eligible Borrowers
ITIN loans serve people who live and work in Florida, file U.S. taxes, and do not have a Social Security number. You do not need to be a citizen or green-card holder to qualify.
The property is typically a primary residence or a one-to-four-unit home. Bring your ITIN, tax returns, and proof of income, and our Spanish-speaking team will walk you through the rest.
