Designed for non-U.S. citizens looking to invest in or purchase property in the United States. No Social Security Number required — we help international buyers navigate U.S. real estate financing with confidence.
No obligation. No credit check to get started.
Nevada's housing market continues to attract buyers from higher-cost states, with Las Vegas, Henderson, and Reno leading population growth. Median home prices in the Las Vegas metro have stabilized after the 2022-2023 correction, and inventory has improved — a strong window for buyers.
A mortgage program built for non-U.S. citizens purchasing property in the United States — without requiring an SSN, ITIN, or U.S. credit history.
Foreign National loans use international documentation — a valid passport, visa, foreign credit reference, and proof of foreign income or assets — instead of the standard U.S. tax returns and credit reports.
These loans are typically used for vacation homes, second homes, and investment properties. Primary-residence financing is generally not available to non-residents under foreign national programs (though residents on certain visas may qualify for traditional financing).
Lending Arena specializes in foreign national transactions across our licensed and partner footprint. We coordinate remote signing where allowed, accept international wire transfers for down payments, and handle the IRS / FIRPTA paperwork at closing.
