Foreign National Mortgage
It may be difficult for you to secure a foreign national mortgage through a bank. Most banks don’t like to even get involved, but these loans are available through other lenders. You will likely need a down payment of at least 30%. You also need to prove income, show bank statements, and get reference letters from your bank. Depending on where you are from, you may also need a Visa or a Green Card.
Other Considerations
When purchasing a home in the US, there are some other costs that may surprise you, so please remember to include them in your budget.
- Closing Costs: There are various expenses involved in closing a loan like title insurance, appraisals, origination fees, and transfer taxes. These typically add up to about 2% of the purchase price.
- Insurance: All lenders in the US will require homebuyers to purchase home insurance. In Michigan, the average is around $70 per month.
- Property Taxes: Depending on where you’re from, you may have previously experienced very high or very low property taxes. In Michigan, the average is between 1-2% of the home value per year.
