While financing foreign investments and property has typically been difficult, there are opportunities that do exist for this to occur. Typically, financing through a banking institution (if you are able to get it) will run you anywhere from 10.5% to 12%. Owners that are motivated to sell their properties will often offer some sort of seller financing. This is usually done with a good portion put down as the downpayment, BUT there are still situations where this can be done with a smaller amount as the downpayment. This means that you may not have to wait years of saving to realize foreign home ownership. One of the biggest advantages of seller financing is that you do not have to qualify through a bank.
