Serving foreign national clients in the U.S. real estate market isn't a niche anymore — it's a growing segment that demands specialized financing solutions.
Traditional lenders routinely decline these borrowers due to the absence of U.S. credit history, domestic income documentation, or Social Security numbers.
That gap is exactly where Capital Direct Funding steps in.
The Problem with Traditional Lending for Foreign
Nationals
Most institutional lenders aren't equipped for cross-border client profiles.
W-2 requirements, SSN mandates, and domestic credit scoring models eliminate otherwise qualified international buyers before underwriting even begins.
Brokers lose deals — and clients — to a system that wasn't built for them.
How CDF Bridges the Gap
CDF has built a reputation among brokers and advisors as the go-to Non-QM lending partner for international clients.
Whether your client is a Canadian investor acquiring a California retail strip center, a Hong Kong-based buyer pursuing a residential income property, or a Mexican entrepreneur seeking bridge financing on a commercial asset, CDF structures loans around the deal — not a checklist.
Speed and Certainty of Close
Speed and certainty are the two currencies brokers care about most.
CDF's in-house underwriting team reviews foreign national files with a direct, decision-ready approach — no handoffs to institutional credit committees unfamiliar with cross-border profiles.
Fast approvals keep transactions on schedule and client relationships intact.
Non-QM Products Built for This Borrower
Our product suite is purpose-built for foreign national profiles.

Compliance Without Compromise
Every loan CDF originates meets California DFPI standards.
Brokers and advisors can place paper with confidence, knowing it's clean, defensible, and won't create liability downstream.
