If you are not eligible for a SSN - then you may obtain an Individual Tax Identification Number - also known as an ITIN - by going to IRS.gov and using the IRS Form W7.
You must have a valid passport (or other ID acceptable by the IRS) and you must file a federal income tax return form (1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) in order to obtain an ITIN from the IRS.
The primary purpose for this number was to make sure foreign investor, students and other individuals not eligible for a SSN could pay federal taxes for financial gains realized while in the USA.
Since its inception, financial institutions have used it in order to facilitate with the process of opening bank accounts and even lending money to purchase homes. Thousands of foreigners have purchased homes using the ITIN. It is a more difficult process but none the less available in limited number of states.
The foreclosure rate for these borrowers has been consistently below the average foreclosure rate of individuals with SSN. The ITIN family's commitment to keep a home is greater because of their limited options to move and/or rent.
