Whether you're looking to grow your real estate portfolio or diversify your international assets, our lending programs are designed to make the U.S. property market accessible, efficient, and secure.

What Is a Foreign National Mortgage?

A Foreign National Mortgage is a specialized loan program created for individuals who are not U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or green card holders. These mortgage products are specifically structured for international buyers who want to own real estate in the United States—typically for investment purposes. Unlike traditional home loans, foreign national programs accommodate applicants without U.S. credit history or income sourced within the U.S. economy.

At Ferrari Lending, we work with a network of private lenders and Non-QM investors who understand the needs of international clients. Whether you're from Brazil, Canada, Europe, Asia, or anywhere else in the world, our programs are designed to minimize friction and provide fast, reliable access to U.S. real estate markets.

Key Benefits of Foreign National Mortgage Programs

Foreign National Mortgages offer unique advantages to global investors, including:

Access to U.S. Real Estate: Enables you to purchase condos, single-family homes, multi-units, and vacation rentals in major U.S. markets.

No U.S. Credit Required: Approval is based on foreign credit reports, bank statements, or alternative documentation.

Competitive Rates: Interest rates are based on global financial standing and asset profile.

Flexible Loan Terms: Options range from 5/1 ARMs to 30-year fixed-rate loans.
