Buying Here When Your Money Comes From Abroad

Your income, savings or family money sit in another country, and every U.S. bank you have asked treats that as a problem. A mortgage broker finds the lenders that accept it. We shop your loan across more than 100 lenders and tell you which ones are likely to say yes before you apply.

What a foreign national loan is

A foreign national loan is for a buyer with no U.S. credit history or U.S. income. The lender looks at the money you hold, sometimes in overseas accounts, and at the reserves you can show. Lenders differ on which accounts and papers they accept, and papers in another language need a certified translation. We tell you what each lender wants before you gather anything. Get a quote to see where you stand.

If you paid cash to win the house

Many purchases here are all cash, so buyers often want money back out afterward. Some lenders will lend against a house soon after a cash purchase, and their rules on how soon are not the same. We find the ones with the friendliest rule for your closing date, so your cash does not stay locked in the house. Ask for a quote.

Where most buyers land

Jumbo loans lead, because the estate homes are almost all priced past the conforming limit. Foreign national loans are a strong second. Bank statement loans serve business owners, and DSCR loans serve people buying a house to rent out. Each of those goes to a different short list of lenders, which is why we sort before you apply. Call (818) 478-2555 to start.

Money from abroad is still money. The trouble is that most lenders never learned how to count it. I know the few that did, so we start with them and spare you a string of applications that go nowhere.

If Your Loan Is Bigger Than a Bank Wants to Write

Your estate purchase is well past the conforming limit, so you need a jumbo loan. Jumbo lenders write their own rules on cash reserves and credit, and they disagree with one another more than most buyers expect. The best offer on your loan may come from a lender you have never heard of. We line up the ones that fit before you spend time on paperwork. See our jumbo loan overview.

When Your Income and Savings Are Overseas

You can afford the house, but your money is held in another country and you have no U.S. credit score. A foreign national loan is built for that. The lender looks at the assets you can show rather than a U.S. paycheck. Which countries and account types it accepts depends on the lender, so we ask first and save you the surprise. Start with a quick quote.

After You Pay Cash for the House

You made a cash offer to win the house, and now your money is stuck in the walls. Some lenders will lend against the home soon after you buy, which puts cash back in your hands. How soon they will do it varies a lot. We check each lender's rule against your closing date and pick the one that lets you move first.

If You Own a Business

Your company earns well, and your tax return makes it look modest. A bank statement loan reads 12 to 24 months of deposits and qualifies you on what actually arrived. Lenders count those deposits differently, so we test your statements before you choose. See our bank statement loan overview.

Buying an Investment House

You want a house to rent out, and you would rather the rent carry the loan than your own income. A DSCR loan compares the rent against the payment and qualifies you on that. The kind of house and how you prove the rent decide which lender fits. See our DSCR loan overview.

The Process

What Happens After You Call

1

Share Where Your Money Is and What You Want

Nothing formal begins here. Tell us what you want to buy, whether your income comes from the U.S. or abroad, and where your savings sit. Those answers decide which lenders are worth calling. A buyer with overseas assets and a buyer with U.S. paychecks belong on different lists, and we sort you onto the right one.

2

We Screen Lenders Against Your Documents

Each lender accepts different papers, so we check yours against their rules before you apply. We ask about accounts abroad, translation needs and how they treat a thin U.S. credit history. You see a short list of lenders that fit, with what each one asks for. That saves weeks of guessing.

3

Send Papers, Translated Where Needed

We give you a checklist so you collect only what your lender needs. Papers in another language need a certified translation, and we tell you when that applies. We send the loan to the lender with the best fit and answer questions as they come. You are not left wondering what happens next.

4

The Lender Approves and Funds, and You Close

The lender reviews your papers, orders an appraisal, and approves and funds the loan. We stay on it until closing and tell you what each step means. When it is done, you know who collects your payments and where to send them.

FAQ

Mortgage Broker in Arcadia: Common Questions Answered

I live abroad. Can I get a loan on a house here?
Yes, with the right lender. A foreign national loan is made for buyers who live outside the U.S. or have no U.S. credit history. The lender looks at your assets and reserves instead. We find the lenders that lend to people in your situation and tell you what they need.
Do you accept bank statements from overseas?
Some lenders do. Others want the money moved into a U.S. account first. That difference can decide how long your purchase takes. We ask before you commit, so you know whether to transfer funds or leave them where they are.
Do my documents need to be translated?
If they are in another language, usually yes. Lenders want a certified translation, which is a signed statement from a translator that the English matches the original. We tell you which papers need it. That way you translate only what the lender will read.
Can I take cash out of a house I paid cash for?
Often you can. Some lenders lend against a house shortly after a cash purchase, which gets your money back out. The rule on how soon differs from lender to lender. We check each one against your closing date and pick the friendliest.
What happens if I have no U.S. credit score?
You still have options. A foreign national loan does not depend on a U.S. score. If you have some history but it is thin, other lenders accept proof such as rent or utility payments. We tell you which route fits.
How much cash will a jumbo lender want me to keep?
It depends on the lender and your loan. Jumbo lenders often want more reserves than a conventional lender, meaning money left in your accounts after closing. Some ask for a lot more than others. We tell you the number for each lender before you apply.
Is a foreign national loan only for people living overseas?
No. It also fits people who moved here recently and have not built a U.S. credit history yet. If you fall in that group, tell us how long you have been here and what income you have. We match you to a lender from there.
What happens on the first call?
We ask what you want to buy, where your income and savings are, and when you hope to close. There is no application and nothing is filed. You leave the call knowing which lenders are worth pursuing. Reach us at (818) 478-2555 or through the form.
Los Angeles County · Arcadia, CA

About Mortgage Broker in Arcadia, CA

Large lots and gated estates set the tone here. The Oaks of Arcadia holds the top of the market, homes near Santa Anita Park fill the upper band, and traditional estates in Lower Rancho sit a step below. Nearly all of it prices past the conforming limit, so jumbo loans are the normal path and not the exception.

Foreign national buyers make up a large share of the market, and many purchases are all cash. That makes foreign national loans and cash out after purchase a regular part of the picture. School district quality also drives a lot of the buying.

When assets sit abroad, the paperwork is where deals slow down. Settling the translation and account questions before the appraisal can save weeks.
