DACA recipient trying to get financed

[Tomas Piano]

Hi everyone! I am a newbie in real estate and have decide to invest in my first property later this year. I am looking to house hack a multi family property in Utah but I am part of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).

I have been reading a lot of different financing options for a FHA loan and I see you need to have citizenship to be approved. Does anyone have any advice on this or know of any loans I would be be approved for?

Thank you for all the help.

Hi Tomas! 

I am on the same boat you are! From the research I have done, you do in fact need to have permanent residency or citizenship to qualify for an FHA loan, but I have scheduled a call tomorrow with a lender who may be able to facilitate loans for DACA recipients. I'd be happy to put you in touch with them if the call goes well.
