show me a foreign national with a FICO score. i've seen many banks that offer these programs, but so far, in many years, i have not seen a single one of these loans fund. take that as you will.
living along the southern border, the types of foreign nationals we see are usually from Mexico, and FICOs are very very rare. foreign credit can soemtimes be used, but i haven't seen someone from Mexico who utilized credit heavily there in my life.
people see "we do foreign nationals" and think that the guy working at Jiffy Lube with no green card can do an 80/20 stated and buy a home.
