Achieving a mortgage for a non resident is almost impossible, but still able to be achieved, depending on a number of factors.
The biggest problem is that the almost sole source of liquidity for US lenders is Fannie Mae, and Fannie Mae (nor Ginnie Mae or Freddie Mac for that matter) extend credit to individuals who are not a citizen nor resident of the US.
There are some international banks that offer international mortgages to offshore investors, as well as some local state-based lenders that may consider credit to offshore investors – espcially in Florida or Texas for example. So the answer to your question is that the lender selection will depend on where the property is located, as well as the purchase price.
If you want to research this yourself, you can; but I promise your efforts will exhaust you. You are best to use a broker that specialises in this area.
