Foreign Buyers and the Loan Process

Do you know someone from a foreign country who wants to purchase a home in the United States? I received the information below recently from one of my favorite lenders. It does not only pertain to those buying in Las Vegas but all over the United States. Now is a PERFECT time to buy in Las Vegas though - inventory is high, rates and prices are low.

Many Foreign Buyers are looking to buy in Las Vegas because the exchange rate for money is so good with the US dollar now. That being the case, it is important to know what the basic mortgage loan parameters are for this loans.

For a Foreign Nation loan the borrower must:

  1. Have a VISA that will allow them to come in & out of the US anytime they want.
  2. Must have a minimum of 30% down payment
  3. Must buy the home as a "2nd home" or "Investment home".
  4. Must qualify "Full Documentation".

If you would like to speak with a lender and see if you qualify for a loan please contact me using my contact information on the right.

Mary - Nice post with very informative information, thanks for sharing.

Good post Mary.  We actually just had someone come to our staff meeting last week to talk about this very topic.  They said its really not difficult for foreign buyers to purchase housing as long as they have what they need.

Mary - With the recent influx of foreign buyers, this is important to know. Thanks... much appreciated.
