Talk to a lender and find out, should be a free conversation to have.  You can see what you would need to qualify, rates, % downpayment and etc.  I have worked with several out of country investors and we were able to close.  Best of luck.

Foreigners can get a foreign national loan. There are a few banks that offer this type of loans, provided that the down payment is 30-40% of purchase price. Especially in California and Florida, there is quite a few of foreign buyers. [website deleted by Zillow moderator.  Please review our Good Neighbor Policy for posting guidelines.]

Tristan.  Thanks for that link.  It is not very useful, as it requires you to enter a US address in order to be contacted! 

Anyone know of any lenders that can assist non-resident aliens with the purchase of a US property?

Thanks
Josh

Google, Bing, Yahoo... Dogpile search using term: California Foreign National Mortgage Loans. There are leads to lenders.

I don't know if this foreign lender mortgage lender search tool works as advertised but it's worth a try. Please respond about its usefulness.

Hope that helps.

Unless you have established credit score and employment history here in the US for 2 years. Or if you are an overseas student and graduated from US college then immediately got a job here in the US.
