ITIN loans: no Social Security number required
Taxpayers who file with an IRS-issued ITIN can buy a home through ITIN mortgage programs — typically 10-20% down, two years of work history, and credit shown by score or alternative trade lines like rent and utilities. Self-employed ITIN borrowers can often qualify with bank statements.
Financing a Texas barndominium
Texas is the most barndo-friendly lending market in the country, but financing is still lender-by-lender: appraisals hinge on comparable metal-building home sales, which rural Texas counties actually have. Completed barndos fit portfolio and non-QM programs; new builds usually run through construction-to-permanent loans with a licensed builder.
Reserves: what lenders want to see
Non-QM programs typically want about 3 to 12 months of PITI — your full monthly payment — sitting in reserves, with larger loans requiring more. Strong reserves can offset a lower score or a thinner deposit history.
