80% Foreign National Mortgage

Up to 80% LTV Foreign National Mortgage

Before you read about our of up to 80% LTV loan program we would like to note a few differences between US and European mortgages. In the US mortgages work different then the mortgages in most of the European countries:  

1.  There is NO age restrictions. The buyer can be 70 + years old and eligible for 30 years mortgage term.

2.  Gross income is used when qualifying for the loan instead of net-income widely used in Europe.

3.  Life insurance is not required.

4.  NO pre-payment or redemption penalty. 

5.  No tax returns are required in some cases. Tax returs may be substituted with employer or accountant income letter.

6.  Seller is allowed to pay up to 3% of the purchase price for buyers closing cost.

Our minimum 20% down payment foreign national mortgage program enables foreign nationals, NON US residents or employment transferees to place minimum 20% down payment and finance up to 80% of the property value. Most of the lenders still require 50% down payment in order to obtain foreign national mortgage loan but we can arrange financing with as little as 20% down. Seller or developer can give the buyer up to 3% of the purchase price concession towards the closing cost and or prepays. If that is the case most of your closing costs would be covered and you'll be able to invest less money upfront. Borrower must have verifiable funds for the down payment, closing cost and payment reserves. Our 80% LTV mortgage for foreigners does not require Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) so there is no extra cost.
