What is an ITIN Loan?

An ITIN is an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) issued by the IRS and can be used as a form of ID for individuals. ITIN loans are a unique kind of loan for individuals that may not have the traditional documentation needed to obtain mortgage loans.

An ITIN can be issued to a U.S. resident alien or non-resident alien that files a tax return and is not eligible for a Social Security Number. An ITIN can also be issued to dependents and/or spouses of a U.S. citizen or resident alien.

However, a key distinction to note is that an ITIN isn’t just for resident and non-resident aliens. ITINs are issued to anyone who files a U.S. tax return and has payment responsibilities, regardless of immigration status. The difference in the case of an ITIN loan, the number acts as a form of identification that can be used if a Social Security Number is not an option.

ITIN Loan Requirements

ITIN loans may be available for single-family residences, condos, townhomes, and multiple units in residential buildings. The lending institution’s requirements for the ITIN loan may differ as well as the total amount they are willing to lend.

Some of the core components of ITIN home loans will likely include:

Identification

Verification of your ITIN number, lenders may ask you to provide additional documentation to verify your identity, such as a driver’s license or other identification.

Credit score

ITIN loans have more flexible credit score requirements compared to other types of mortgages.

Proof of employment

ITIN home loan applications will need to show a minimum of 2 years of consistent employment history; this can also include self-employment.

Tax returns

The ITIN home loan application will also require two years of tax returns.

Other financial documentation

We will want to see any additional financial information that can support the application and prove that you will be able to make your monthly payments, including bank statements and any other relevant assets. Savings in a U.S. bank account may also be included in the application as further proof of finances.

Down payment

The minimum down-payment for the ITIN mortgage product is currently 15%. Using a higher down payment amount will benefit the borrower by lowering their monthly payment a possibly improving the terms of the mortgage.

There are other loan requirements depending on circumstance, please reach out to a loan officer for specific loan questions.
