It is a mortgage program that AsertaLoans offers to individuals who do not have a Social Security Number, but have an ITIN Number (Individual Taxpayer ID Number).

 

Who should get an ITIN Mortgage Loan?

An individual whose status is a Non-Permanent Resident Alien. If the individual is not a US Citizen, but their status is a Permanent Resident Alien (or they have a Green Card), then they should be eligible for an FHA Loan, which has a much lower down payment of 3.5%.
