Mainstream mortgage tools assume an SSN and a thick credit file. This one doesn’t. Answer seven questions about your status, history, and income — we’ll point you to the programs actually open to you.
Step 1 of 7
There’s no single “immigrant mortgage” — the right program depends on whether you have a Social Security number, how long you’ve been in the U.S., your tax-filing and credit history, and how you earn. A DACA recipient with an SSN has very different options than an ITIN holder with foreign income, even though both are often told “you can’t buy a home.” Usually, you can.
The finder maps your answers to the most likely path: a standard conventional or FHA loan where you qualify for one, an ITIN portfolio loan where you don’t, or a preparation roadmap when building credit and tax history comes first. The logic follows published agency rules (FHA accepts DACA and many non-permanent residents; conventional allows non-permanent resident aliens with work authorization) and common ITIN-program standards.
