What is the Saxton Foreign National Loan?

A loan built for buyers whose credit history sits outside the United States

The Saxton Foreign National Loan finances a second home or investment property for buyers based abroad, using foreign credit or the rental income the property produces instead of a US credit file.

Qualify on documented income or on the property’s rental coverage. On the rental income route, a personal guaranty is required when the loan is taken in the name of an entity, and reserves are reviewed either way. Loans run from $150,000 to $1 Million, generally starting around a 680 credit score where US credit exists.

Use it to purchase or refinance a second home or investment property, on single-family homes and warrantable condominiums. Two to four unit properties are eligible as investment property only. Non-warrantable condominiums and cooperative units are not eligible.
