Foreign National DSCR Loan

Investment property financing for non-U.S. residents that qualifies on the property's rental income, not on foreign income documents or a U.S. credit score.

Program Overview

A Foreign National DSCR loan combines two things: a foreign national program, built for buyers who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents, and DSCR underwriting, which measures the property's rent against its monthly payment. The result is a path for international investors to buy, refinance or pull cash out of U.S. rental property without U.S. tax returns or a U.S. job. Terms, down payment and reserves vary by investor, and TAG Lending Group matches each scenario to the program that fits.

Program Features

β†—

Qualify on the property's rental income compared with the full monthly payment (PITIA), not on U.S. tax returns, W-2s or pay stubs.

β†—

Designed for non-U.S. citizens who do not live in the United States and are buying or refinancing a U.S. investment property.

A U.S. credit score is not required. International credit references can be used when there is no U.S. credit history.

β†—

Title can typically vest in a U.S. LLC, with members signing a personal guaranty.

β†—

Purchase, rate-and-term refinance and cash-out refinance options may be available, depending on the investor program.
