This simple program is easy to qualify for and we have helped many immigrants find a mortgage to purchase their dream home in the United States by using their ITIN number.
An ITIN number is used as an alternative form for identification, more specifically for those who do not have a social security number. Potential qualifiers will need a 2-year work history and can expect a down payment of 15-25%.

Down Payment Requirements For An ITIN Home Loan
When determining the amount you have to put down for an ITIN home loan, your credit score and loan amount are the biggest factors that a lender will consider. Most often a minimum down payment of 20% is needed with excellent credit. In most cases, the higher your credit score and the higher the loan amount, the better chance you have to reduce your down payment.
A minimum down payment of 15% is required, but let us help you determine the best approach depending on your specific loan situation.
Interest Rates for ITIN Home Loans
While competitive, interest rates on ITIN loans are not as low as FHA loans. Though they are competitive, your specific ITIN loan rate will be closely tied to your credit score and down payment amount. A higher down payment combined with a high credit score will help you qualify for a lower rate.
