31%Renter households

$373,300Median home value

About 10.4% of people in Glastonbury Center were born abroad, and 12.2% speak a language other than English at home. With 31% of households renting, many local families are weighing a first purchase, and some of them file taxes with an ITIN rather than a Social Security number.

Starting an ITIN home purchase in Glastonbury Center

Before a lender can match you with a program, it needs to know who will be on the loan. Some households have one person with an ITIN and another with a Social Security number. Others have two ITIN holders, or a parent and an adult child who both earn income. Each setup changes which programs are open to you and whose income and credit the lender reviews.

Adding a co-borrower can help when that person brings steady income or a longer credit record, but it also means their debts and documents become part of the file. Sit down together before you apply and decide who will sign. Then ask the loan officer to explain how each choice affects the programs you may qualify for in Connecticut.

Building a credit history a lender can read

If your bureau file is thin, some ITIN programs accept a record of other bills instead. Rent is usually the most important one. A lender may ask for a letter from your landlord, a copy of your lease and bank records or canceled checks that show each payment leaving your account.

Utilities, phone service, auto insurance and childcare payments can help as well. What lenders look for is a pattern: the same bill, paid on time, month after month. Payments made in cash with no receipt are hard to prove, so move your regular bills onto a bank account or money order with a record you can copy. The cleaner that trail is, the easier it is for an underwriter to count it.

Who this tends to fit

You have paid rent, phone and utilities on time but have little bureau credit
You want to refinance a home you already own
You would like to work through your loan in Spanish or another language
Your household has one ITIN holder and one Social Security number holder
You have saved for a down payment in a U.S. bank account

Local offices and Connecticut rules to know

Mortgage lenders, brokers and loan originators serving Connecticut are licensed by the Connecticut Department of Banking, Consumer Credit Division. Non-QM loans are made by the same licensed lenders and brokers, so you can confirm any company's or loan officer's license on NMLS Consumer Access before you apply.

Your language, your questions and the limits of loan advice

A loan officer can explain programs, documents and costs. A loan officer cannot advise you on immigration matters, and you should not expect them to. If you have questions about how buying a home, signing a mortgage or holding property in your name relates to your personal situation, consult an immigration attorney before you apply.

Tax questions work the same way. Lenders often check that your ITIN is active and that your returns were filed with it, and an ITIN that has gone unused on returns can expire. Whether you need to renew it, how to report self-employment income and how owning a home affects your return are questions for someone who prepares taxes, so talk to a tax professional.

Before you call

Recent pay stubs and W-2s, or business and personal bank statements
Your lease and a landlord letter or bank records showing rent payments
A passport or other government photo ID, and a visa if applicable
Bank statements showing where your closing funds came from
Bills or statements proving on-time utility, phone and insurance payments

Questions Glastonbury Center borrowers ask about ITIN mortgage loans

Can I refinance my current home with an ITIN loan?

You may be eligible. Some ITIN programs offer refinances to lower the cost of an existing loan or to take cash out of your equity. The lender reviews your income, credit and payment history on your current mortgage, along with a fresh appraisal. Ask for a Loan Estimate and compare it with your current loan before you commit.

How do I start building credit if I have none?

You can open credit with your ITIN. Secured credit cards and small credit-builder loans from credit unions are common starting points. Keep balances low, pay on time every month and check whether your phone carrier or auto lender reports to the credit bureaus. Credit grows slowly, so it helps to begin well ahead of your home search.

What if some of my income is paid in cash?

Lenders can only count income they can document. Cash that is deposited into a bank account and reported on your filed returns is far easier to use than cash kept at home. Some programs review bank statements for self-employed ITIN borrowers. How to report that income on your return is a tax question, so talk to a tax professional.

Can I buy a rental or second home with an ITIN loan?

Many ITIN programs focus on a home you will live in, while some also allow second homes or investment property. Programs vary by borrower, property and investor, and pricing often differs by how the home will be used. Tell the loan officer your plans at the start, because the occupancy you declare on the application has to be accurate.
