Financing is available for non US citizens.  For those buyers who do not have US based credit, it is advisable to start your mortgage pre-qualification process early to identify appropriate programs and any requirements that may require extra attention.  In general, lenders will look to validate your income (2 -3 year history), assets, and credit history.  This documentation could require translation to English, conversion to dollars, or other special processing that can take additional time in the loan process.  Identifying these needs up front will ensure a smooth transaction.
