Question 1

Can I buy a house without a Social Security number in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can buy a house in Texas without a Social Security number. ITIN loans are specifically designed for individuals who have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of an SSN. Daisy specializes in helping Houston families navigate this process.

Question 2

What is an ITIN and how do I get one?

Accepted Answer

An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a tax processing number issued by the IRS to individuals who need to file taxes but are not eligible for a Social Security number. You can apply for an ITIN by submitting Form W-7 to the IRS along with your federal tax return and proof of identity and foreign status.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for an ITIN loan?

Accepted Answer

Most ITIN loan programs require a minimum credit score of 660-680 (lender requirements may vary). However, we also work with alternative credit options for borrowers who may not have a traditional credit history. This can include rental payments, utility bills, and other regular payment histories.

Question 4

How much down payment do I need?

Accepted Answer

ITIN loans typically require a down payment of 10-20% of the home purchase price. The exact amount depends on your credit profile, income, and the specific loan program. Some programs may allow gift funds from family members to help with the down payment.

Question 5

Can I use an ITIN loan for a primary residence?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ITIN loans are primarily designed for primary residence purchases. This means the home must be your main place of living. Investment properties may have different requirements and typically require larger down payments.

Question 6

How long does the ITIN loan process take?

Accepted Answer

The ITIN loan process typically takes 30-45 days from application to closing. This timeline can vary based on document preparation, property appraisal scheduling, and underwriting review. Working with an experienced loan officer like Daisy helps streamline the process.

Question 7

What interest rates can I expect?

Accepted Answer

ITIN loan interest rates are typically higher than conventional loan rates. The exact rate depends on your credit profile, down payment, and lender. Contact Daisy to get a personalized rate estimate.

Question 8

Can my spouse use their SSN if I have an ITIN?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if one spouse has an SSN and the other has an ITIN, you may have more loan options available. In some cases, this can help you qualify for better rates or terms. Daisy can evaluate your specific situation and recommend the best approach for your family.

Question 9

Are ITIN loans available across all of Houston?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ITIN loans are available throughout the Greater Houston area, including all neighborhoods and suburbs. Whether you are looking to buy in Katy, Sugar Land, Spring, Cypress, The Woodlands, or anywhere else in the Houston metro, Daisy can help you find an eligible property.
