What is a Foreign National Mortgage Loan?

Exclusive Financing for Global Earners Investing in U.S. Real Estate

If you’re a high-net-worth individual living outside the United States, you’ve likely recognized the value of investing in U.S. real estate. Whether it’s the strength of the U.S. dollar, the appreciation of property values, or the unmatched access to high-performing rental markets—U.S. real estate is a clear opportunity for smart, globally minded investors.

But the challenge is real: most traditional banks in the U.S. will not lend to foreign nationals without U.S. tax returns, a Social Security Number, or domestic income. And in your home country, lenders don’t offer U.S.-based mortgage solutions.

That’s where Mbanc’s Foreign National Mortgage Program changes the game.

We offer Non-QM (Non-Qualified Mortgage) loans specifically designed for non-resident borrowers—people who earn well, have significant assets, but lack access to U.S. credit or tax documentation.

Our program makes it possible to purchase or refinance U.S. real estate with no U.S. income, no tax returns, and no Social Security Number required.

What is a Foreign National Mortgage Loan?

A Foreign National Mortgage Loan is a U.S.-based mortgage specifically designed for non-residents who want to buy or refinance property in the United States.

Unlike traditional mortgage programs, a Foreign National loan:

  • Does not require a U.S. credit score
  • Does not require a Social Security Number
  • Does not require U.S. income or tax returns

Instead, you qualify based on your international income, assets, and credit profile. We use common-sense underwriting, tailored to your global financial footprint.

Who is a Foreign National Loan For?

Foreign national loans are specifically designed for individuals who are not permanent residents or citizens of the United States but have the financial capacity to invest. This includes:

  • Non-US Residents: Anyone living outside the United States.
  • Investors: Those looking to diversify their investment portfolios.

No matter where you reside in the world, if you have the available assets, you can leverage foreign national loans to tap into the robust US real estate market.

What Can You Use a Foreign National Loan For?

  • Purchase a U.S. property (primary, second home, or investment)
  • Refinance an existing U.S. mortgage to secure better terms or rates
  • Cash out equity for reinvestment, diversification, or wealth preservation
  • Build or grow a U.S.-based real estate portfolio

You gain the power to leverage U.S. assets, earn in U.S. dollars, and expand your global holdings—all without converting your personal financial structure.

How does the Mbanc Process Work?

Step 1: Strategic Consultation and Pre-Qualification

The process begins with a one-on-one conversation with an Mbanc mortgage advisor who specializes in working with Canadian borrowers. During this initial strategy session, we’ll gain a deep understanding of your goals, financial profile, and ideal investment outcome.

We’ll look at:

  • The property type you’re purchasing (primary residence, vacation home, or investment property)
  • Your business or income structure
  • Your credit profile in Canada or abroad
  • How you plan to hold the property (personally, via corporation, or trust)

Based on this discovery process, we pre-qualify you for the right Non-QM loan product without requiring documents you may not have.

You do NOT need:

  • A U.S. credit score
  • A Social Security Number (SSN)
  • U.S. income verification
  • U.S. tax returns

Instead, we review your Canadian income, banking relationships, and asset strength to issue a pre-qualification decision in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Step 2: Choose the Right Non-QM Loan Program

Mbanc offers a full suite of flexible, private Non-QM loans tailored to Canadian Foreign Nationals. Your mortgage advisor will guide you to the ideal product based on your personal financial structure and the goals of your purchase.

 

Popular options include:

  • Foreign National Loans
    No U.S. documents required. Use Canadian income, credit, and bank statements to qualify. Available for primary, secondary, and investment properties.
  • Bank Statement Loans
    Use 12 to 24 months of Canadian business or personal bank statements instead of tax returns to verify income.
  • DSCR (Debt-Service Coverage Ratio) Loans
    Approval is based solely on the income the U.S. property generates—not your personal income. Perfect for rental property purchases.
  • Asset-Based Loans
    Qualify based on liquid investment portfolios, retirement accounts, or other cash-equivalent holdings—ideal for high-net-worth individuals who prefer not to disclose business income.

 

We also offer interest-only and jumbo options for qualified borrowers seeking payment flexibility or higher property values.

Step 3: Streamlined Document Collection

Once the loan product is selected and you’re ready to move forward, we gather minimal documentation—focused, relevant, and specific to your Canadian financial profile.

 

Typical requirements include:

  • Valid Canadian passport or ID
  • Canadian credit report (Equifax or TransUnion)
  • Bank or brokerage statements
  • CPA letter or proof of business income (if applicable)
  • Property ownership and rental income details
  • Existing mortgage statements

 

We only request what is necessary. There are no unnecessary hurdles or redundant paperwork.

Step 4: Pre-Approval and Property Search

With your financial review complete, we issue a formal pre-approval letter that empowers you to make offers with confidence. This letter holds weight in U.S. markets and shows agents and sellers you are ready to close, with financing already secured through a trusted lender.

We also provide you with an outline of the final loan structure, projected monthly payments, and closing timeline.

Whether you’re shopping in Florida, Arizona, California, or Texas, you’ll move forward knowing your financing is already in motion.

Step 5: Appraisal, Underwriting, and Final Approval

Once you’ve identified and gone under contract on a U.S. property, we move into the appraisal and underwriting phase.

Here’s where Mbanc stands apart.

Unlike traditional lenders, our underwriters specialize in non-resident borrowers. We don’t waste time on back-and-forth requests for irrelevant documents. We already understand your file.

We order an independent U.S. appraisal, complete all compliance checks, and finalize your approval quickly and efficiently.

 

At this stage, we review:

  • Property valuation
  • Your qualifying income or asset documentation
  • Title and escrow setup
  • Any remaining legal or ownership structure details

Final approval is typically issued within a few days after the appraisal.

Step 5: Closing and Cash-Out

Once your file is cleared to close, we coordinate everything with your title or escrow company. If you’re outside of the U.S., you can close remotely with e-signatures or local notary support.

After the final signing:

  • Your loan is funded
  • Ownership is transferred
  • You officially own U.S. property

If you’re using a cash-out strategy or refinancing an existing U.S. property, funds are wired into your U.S. account or investment vehicle of choice—no tax-triggering sale required.
