ITIN Home Loans in California: How Mojave River Mortgage Helps Non-Traditional Borrowers Buy Homes

Mojave River Mortgage offers ITIN home loans for qualified borrowers who do not have a Social Security number. Learn how ITIN mortgages work, who qualifies, and who benefits most from this flexible home-financing option in California.

What Is an ITIN Home Loan?

An ITIN home loan is a mortgage designed for borrowers who do not have a Social Security number, but who instead file U.S. taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) issued by the IRS.

At Mojave River Mortgage, we work with wholesale lenders that offer ITIN mortgage programs for:

  • Primary residences

  • Second homes

  • Investment properties

These loans make homeownership possible for hardworking individuals and families who contribute to the U.S. economy and pay taxes, but don’t fit into traditional mortgage guidelines.


Who Benefits from an ITIN Loan?

ITIN loans are ideal for borrowers who are financially responsible but excluded from conventional lending programs.

1. Non-U.S. Citizens Who Pay U.S. Taxes

Many borrowers legally work and pay taxes using an ITIN but cannot qualify for FHA, VA, or conventional loans. ITIN mortgages provide a clear path to homeownership without a Social Security number.

2. Self-Employed & Entrepreneurial Borrowers

ITIN loan programs often allow:

  • Bank statement qualification

  • Alternative income documentation

  • Flexible underwriting

This is especially helpful for business owners, contractors, and cash-flow-based earners.

3. Real Estate Investors

Some ITIN loan programs allow:

  • Investment property purchases

  • Multiple financed properties

  • Rental income consideration

This opens doors for long-term wealth building through real estate.

4. Families Seeking Stability

Homeownership provides:

  • Housing security

  • Fixed monthly payments

  • Long-term equity growth

ITIN loans allow families to put down roots instead of continuing to rent.


What Are the Typical ITIN Loan Requirements?

While requirements vary by lender, many ITIN mortgage programs include:

  • Valid ITIN issued by the IRS

  • Two years of tax returns filed with an ITIN

  • Verifiable income (W-2s, 1099s, or bank statements)

  • Down payment (often higher than conventional loans)

  • Proof of residency and identity

  • Satisfactory credit history (traditional or alternative credit accepted in some cases)

💡 ITIN loans are not government-insured, but they are fully legal, widely used, and increasingly common in California.
