At First Choice Financial, we offer ITIN mortgage loans designed for individuals who file taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). If you’re living and working on the Western Slope and ready to buy a home, there are real options available to you—and our team is here to guide you through them.

We work with ITIN borrowers every day and understand how to navigate the process efficiently, clearly, and respectfully.

  • Competitive interest rates compared to many ITIN programs

ITIN Loan Options

For W-2 Employees

If you’re employed with a company, we’ll use standard documentation to verify your income and stability, including:

  • Pay stubs
  • W-2 forms
  • Employment history

Stable employment can help you qualify for more competitive loan terms.

For Self-Employed Borrowers

If you own a business or work independently, we offer flexible ways to document your income, including:

  • Business bank statements
  • Tax returns
  • Profit and loss statements

We work with a wide range of business structures, including sole proprietors, LLCs, and corporations.

Eligible Property Types

ITIN loans can be used to purchase a variety of property types, including:

  • Single-family homes
  • Condos and townhomes
  • 2–4 unit properties
  • Primary residences and select investment properties

Mortgage Options for Non-Permanent Residents

If you’re legally working in the U.S. on a visa, you may be able to qualify for a mortgage even if you’re not a permanent resident. First Choice Financial offers loan programs tailored to non-permanent residents across a variety of visa types.

The challenge is that these loans come with specific guidelines, especially around documentation and visa status. Working with someone familiar with those guidelines can make a big difference.

Visa Types We Commonly Work With

We work with borrowers holding visas such as:

  • H-1B (Specialty Occupations)
  • H-2B (Temporary Workers)
  • L-1 (Intracompany Transfers)
  • O-1 (Extraordinary Ability)
  • E-1 / E-2 (Treaty Traders & Investors)
  • TN (Canada & Mexico Professionals)

If you’re unsure whether your visa qualifies, we can review your situation and walk you through your options.

  • Asset documentation: Including international funds, if applicable
