ITIN Loans for Non-U.S. Citizen Borrowers
ITIN loans are designed for borrowers who do not have a Social Security number but file taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). As a mortgage broker, Westpark Loans works with lenders offering ITIN-based mortgage programs structured around alternative documentation and credit evaluation.
These programs help qualified borrowers pursue homeownership or refinancing opportunities despite traditional documentation barriers.
This program is currently structured for California properties due to state licensing requirements.
