Prepare for a U.S. purchase with clarity

For international buyers, financing hinges on down payment, reserves, documentation, and structure rather than a domestic credit profile. This estimates your planning figures and builds a preparation checklist. It does not determine eligibility.

Planning figures from your assumptions — not lender guidelines and not an eligibility decision. See the foreign-national pathway and full disclaimer.

What tends to matter

Down payment and reserves are usually central, since a domestic credit history may be limited or absent. How income and identity are documented, currency and transfer timing, and whether you hold the property personally or through an entity all shape the options. Requirements vary significantly by lender and status — so the aim here is preparation, not a promise.

Next step

Bring your plan and questions to a professional through a Kawsah call. If this is an investment purchase, the DSCR Calculator may matter more than personal income.

Does this tell me if I'm eligible?

No. Nationality alone doesn't decide an outcome. Citizenship, residency, source of funds, property type, and lender guidelines all matter, and they change. This organizes preparation and questions.
