Program Overview

Our Foreign National with U.S. Credit program rewards international investors who have taken the step to establish credit in the United States. Because you have a verifiable U.S. credit history, you qualify for significantly better terms than our standard Foreign National program — including higher loan-to-value ratios, lower interest rates, and no seasoning requirements. This program bridges the gap between our Foreign National and domestic investor programs, giving you near-parity terms while still accommodating your international status.
