Foreign National Rate-and-Term Refinance

Refinance a U.S. rental property without taking cash out.

Replace an existing mortgage on an eligible U.S. rental property. Start with the current payoff, property value, requested new loan, and rental income for a Foreign National DSCR review.

What the refinance review considers

Start with the current loan and rental records.

The mortgage desk checks the current loan and requested refinance alongside rental income, property value, ownership history, reserves, and location requirements.

01

Confirm payoff and ownership

Provide the current mortgage statement or payoff, the name on title, and entity records when applicable. Flag any planned ownership change before documents are prepared.

02

Document rental performance

Lease, market-rent, operating-history, or eligible short-term-rental documentation may be required depending on occupancy and strategy.

03

Review value and reserves

The appraisal, requested loan amount, monthly property expense, available assets, and post-closing reserve position all affect the final review.
