Suruga Bank Home Loan experience? (Foreigner, non-PR)

I'm considering applying for a home loan with Suruga Bank (50% down, 50% loan). Since I don't have PR, my options are pretty limited. Will also check out SBI as well, but Suruga seems to be the only one willing to understand a foreigner's particular situation.

A quick google on Japanese google seems to reveal a bunch of scandals. But according to this sub, it's pretty good.

Anyone have up-to-date experience with Suruga loans? Happy to hear your experiences. Thank you!
