You can own a home in the US without being a citizen. Whether it's an investment, a rental, or your own home, here's how you can access financing to purchase a house in the US as a non-resident. Applying for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) The first step is to acquire an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which you can use to open bank accounts, access mortgages, or pay income tax. An ITIN is like a social security number for non-citizens. It is a tax processing number issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS issues ITINs to help individuals comply with US tax laws and to provide a means to efficiently process and account for tax returns and payments for those not eligible for Social Security numbers. They are issued regardless of immigration status.
