One common mistake we see at Dream Home Mortgage is H-1B visa holders taking a personal loan first because they think it will help with home buying.
But sometimes it does the opposite.
That new monthly payment can raise debt-to-income ratio and lower the mortgage amount they may qualify for. Even if the borrower has a strong salary, lenders still review credit history, visa documents, job stability, savings, and total monthly debt.
So before using a personal loan for home purchase, it is smarter to get a full mortgage review first.
H-1B buyers can qualify for home financing in many cases. They just need clear guidance, proper documents, and a lender who understands how non-permanent resident loan files work.
