ITIN Loans (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) — Star Financial

Mortgage options for borrowers without a Social Security Number who file taxes with an ITIN. Flexible documentation and common-sense underwriting for purchase, rate/term refi, or cash-out.

Who This Helps

  • Borrowers who file U.S. taxes with an ITIN (no SSN)
  • W-2 or 1099 earners, self-employed, and business owners
  • First-time buyers and investors (program-specific)

Key Benefits

  • No SSN required — qualify with an ITIN
  • Flexible income options: W-2, 1099, bank statements, or P&L (per program)
  • Purchase, rate/term, and cash-out available
  • Primary residence, second home, and many investment properties (program-specific)

Basic Eligibility (varies by investor)

  • Valid ITIN and acceptable government-issued ID (e.g., passport; visa per program)
  • Credit history or alternative credit (e.g., rental/utility history)
  • Down payment/LTV per matrix (e.g., 15–25%+ down is common)
  • Reserves required (often 6–12 months of PITIA)
  • Property, appraisal, title, and insurance must meet guidelines

Documents You May Need

  • Proof of identity (passport/consular ID), valid ITIN letter
  • Income docs: W-2/1099, pay stubs, employer letter, or 12–24 months bank statements / CPA P&L (program-dependent)
  • Housing/rental history, recent credit report or non-traditional credit references
  • Purchase contract/EMD (purchase) or mortgage statement/payoff (refi)

What to Consider

  • Non-QM pricing/fees may differ from agency loans
  • Down payment and reserves can be higher than conventional
  • Not a government loan; FHA/VA/USDA generally require SSN
  • Terms vary by investor—Star Financial will match you to the best fit

How It Works

  1. Consult & pre-screen (goals, income type, credit profile)
  2. Pre-qual with program that fits your ITIN profile
  3. Underwriting (verify ID, income, assets; appraisal/title)
  4. Close — purchase or refinance with clear next steps
