Foreign National Mortgages - Cleveland

Thomas Worbech

Posted

Hello!

I am a real estate investor from Denmark who is looking to build a cash flowing portfolio of real estate in Cleveland. Last year I bought the first turnkey property through my Ohio based LLC.

I am looking for lenders who can provide foreign national mortgages to buy or refinance properties on favorable terms. I have no intention of a single business transaction but is looking for a long-term partnership which is beneficial for the both parties.

Referrals are also very appreciated.

Please reach out for more information!

Thank you!

Thomas

OP said he has a US based Ohio entity.  Corevest, wdbfunding, Caliber Home Loans, Citadel Servicing, Deephaven, and perhaps others have advertised that they lend to foreign nationals.  As I read it, and I could be wrong, a US entity is a US borrower. So then you go to lenders that lend to LLCs, which is a whole different list of lenders.

Hi @Bob Prisco, thank you for your reply. In fact, I actually do own an american LLC formed in Ohio. Perhaps that changes the perspective slightly?

@Kerry Baird, thank you for your input to this! I will certainly take a closer look on these lenders. Do you have any experience with either of them?

@Thomas Worbech, yes, I have talked with a rep from Caliber, and they were quite flexible with the number of loans I wanted. The website does not not make it easy to determine rates. I had to call and speak to a representative to get their terms, and rates.

Additionally, my mom has a mortgage with them, and receives offers to refinance regularly.

A US entity is a US borrower but the principal of the entity is not a US national/Permanent resident then it's a foreign national transaction. 

I have clients who either have an LLC or not but are foreign nationals who qualify for a Non-Prime N/O/O Business Purpose lenders will lend to an LLC but if the principal is a foreign national the LTV will be reduced to 70 and bellow.

@Kerry Baird thanks again. Did you find Caliber to have competitive rates too?

A little higher than another local lender, but not unreasonable.
