ITIN Mortgages for Borrowers Without an SSN
ITIN mortgages are home loans for borrowers who file taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number instead of a Social Security Number. They are available for primary residence purchase and refinance, with standard underwriting on credit, income, and employment — just substituting the ITIN for the SSN field.
Highlights
- •ITIN accepted in place of SSN
- •Primary residence purchase and refinance
- •W-2 or self-employed (bank-statement) income both accepted
- •15% down typical (some programs 10%)
- •Borrower must have filed US taxes 2+ years
Who it's for
Long-term US residents who file taxes with an ITIN, mixed-status families with one ITIN borrower and one SSN borrower (some programs require all borrowers be ITIN), and DACA recipients (often eligible separately).
