What is a Foreign National Loan?
A foreign national loan is a U.S. mortgage designed for non-citizens or overseas investors, allowing them to purchase American real estate without a U.S. credit history. These loans often use alternative underwriting (like asset verification or DSCR) and cater to buyers seeking investment properties, second homes, or relocation financing.

Benefits of a Foreign National Loan
Streamlined Qualification Process
DSCR loans emphasize the performance of the investment property, allowing borrowers to avoid complex personal income documentation. This makes the process quicker and less invasive.
Flexible Eligibility Criteria
These loans are ideal for self-employed individuals, seasoned investors, or those with non-traditional income sources. Personal income isn’t the focus—it’s all about the property’s cash flow.
Scalable Financing
Whether you’re buying your first rental property or expanding an existing portfolio, DSCR loans provide scalable solutions tailored to investment growth.
Competitive Loan Terms
DSCR loans often come with attractive terms, including competitive interest rates and flexible down payment options, making them an excellent choice for long-term real estate investments.
Versatility
From single-family homes to multifamily properties and commercial real estate, DSCR loans can be used for a wide range of property types.
Requirements for a Foreign National Loan
1. Property Cash Flow
The property’s DSCR must meet or exceed the lender’s minimum requirement, often around 1.0 or higher. A DSCR of 1.25, for example, indicates that the property generates 25% more income than needed to cover debt service.
2. Down Payment
Most lenders require a down payment of 20% to 25%, depending on the property type and borrower’s profile.
3. Credit Score
While DSCR loans are property-focused, a minimum credit score (usually around 620-680) is typically required to demonstrate financial responsibility.
4. Property Appraisal
A professional appraisal is necessary to confirm the property’s value and potential income, ensuring it aligns with the lender’s standards.
5. Reserves
Lenders often require reserves, such as six months’ worth of mortgage payments, to demonstrate financial stability.
6. Rental Income Documentation
For existing properties, you’ll need to provide rental income documentation, such as leases or a rental history. For new purchases, projected rental income estimates may be required.
