Darshni Vora Hard Money Options for Non-Citizen Investor?
17 February 2026 | 8 replies
What I’m finding is that many won’t lend to non-citizens/visa holders at all, and the ones that will are offering pretty tough terms.Examples of what I’ve been quoted so far:- 25–30% of the purchase price as down payment- Loan amounts upto only 65–70% of ARV- One lender quoted a 3% origination fee plus a $1,600 underwriting feeI’m wondering if this is just the reality of the market for non-citizen investors right now, or if there are lenders out there with more competitive terms.
