Specialty Programs — ITIN Loans & Home Equity

Loans for Borrowers Who Don't Fit the Standard Box

Two programs built for situations most lenders won't touch. ITIN loans for borrowers who file taxes without a Social Security Number. Home equity loans that accept bank statement, DSCR, and P&L income — not just W-2s. If a conventional lender said no, one of these may be the answer.

  • No SSN Required (ITIN)
  • DACA Eligible (ITIN)
  • Up to $1.5M (ITIN)
  • Bank Statement & DSCR Income (Home Equity)
  • Up to $850K at 90% CLTV
  • 24-Hour Pre-Approvals

ITIN Loans — Homeownership Without a Social Security Number

An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is issued by the IRS to individuals who have U.S. tax obligations but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. FlexPoint's ITIN program lets eligible borrowers purchase or refinance a home using that number — with flexible income documentation and up to $1.5M in loan amount.

What is an ITIN?An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a 9-digit number issued by the IRS to people who must file U.S. taxes but are not eligible for a Social Security Number. It begins with the number 9. To use this program, you must have at least 2 years of ITIN history.

Who These Programs Are For

The Right Program for Your Situation

Both programs serve borrowers who fall outside conventional qualification — but for very different reasons. Here's who each one is built for.

🌎 ITIN Loans — Right For You If…
  • You Have an ITIN, Not an SSN

    You file U.S. taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number — you work, you pay taxes, but you don't have a Social Security Number. This program was built for exactly that situation.

  • You're a DACA Recipient

    DACA recipients — Dreamers — are eligible under this program with standard qualification requirements. Many have strong credit and stable income but no Social Security Number. This program accepts that.

  • You're a First-Time Homebuyer

    No prior homeownership experience required. Gift funds accepted for the down payment. Primary residence, second home, and investment property all eligible.

  • Your Income Is Self-Employment or 1099

    ITIN borrowers often work as contractors, business owners, or in the gig economy. Bank statement and 1099 income are both accepted alongside traditional W-2 documentation.

💰 Home Equity — Right For You If…
  • You're Self-Employed With Equity Built Up

    Your tax returns show low income after write-offs, but your home has significant equity. Traditional home equity products require W-2 income — ours accepts bank statements and P&L statements instead.

  • You Own Rental Properties

    DSCR income is accepted. If you own rental properties, the rental income from those properties can be used to qualify — you're not limited to personal W-2 income to access your home's equity.

  • You Don't Want to Touch Your First Mortgage Rate

    If you locked in a low rate on your first mortgage, a home equity second lets you access cash without disturbing it. You add a second on top rather than replacing the whole first.

  • You Need a Lump Sum for a Major Expense

    Home improvement, business investment, debt consolidation, a down payment on another property — a fixed lump-sum second mortgage gives you a defined amount with fixed payments from day one.

Borrower Stories

Real Borrowers Who Closed With Specialty Programs.

Here's what borrowers say after closing an ITIN or home equity loan with FlexPoint.

I own a small business and file with my ITIN. My tax return doesn't show my real income because I have a good accountant. FlexPoint used 24 months of my business bank statements and I qualified for a loan I didn't think was possible. Professional, patient, and they explained everything clearly.

Small Business Owner

ITIN Loans

I have lived here for 14 years, paid taxes every year with my ITIN, and every bank said they needed a Social Security number. FlexPoint was different. They took the time to understand my situation, accepted my W-2s and ITIN, and closed my first home in 31 days. I am still emotional thinking about it.
