Can I Buy a House if I’m not an American Citizen?

January 27, 2014 by Allan Sanchez Leave a Comment

Can I Buy a House if I’m not an American Citizen?  Can I Buy a House if I'm not an American Citizen?

Last week, two different people approached me with the same questions:  Can I buy a house, I’m not an American citizen?

As a real estate broker for the last 15 years, I’ve sold quite a few homes to non-US citizens like this El Dorado Hills home bought by Canadians, so I knew it could be done.  If a non-American citizen is buying a home with CASH, there are really no restrictions.  With home loans, there are some stipulations, so I reached out to one of my most trusted mortgage lenders, Eric Teply, for the latest requirements for non-citizens to buy a home with a home loan:

  • Non-citizens can get a FHA or Conventional home loan (VA not available).
  • Eligible borrowers include Permanent Resident Aliens, and Non-Permanent Resident Aliens.
  • All borrowers must have a valid social security number.
  • Non-Permanent Resident Aliens, must submit proof of a valid VISA.
  • Foreign Nationals, borrowers with diplomatic immunity, and those without a valid social security number are ineligible for a FHA or Conventional home loan.

If you are not an American citizen, you can absolutely buy a home.  If you have questions about your specific situation, give Eric Teply or me a call!  Allan Sanchez – Sacramento Area Real Estate Agent: 916-205-2265.
