Can foreign buyers get mortgages overseas?
A lot of folks might assume the answer is a flat “no.” But that’s far from the reality. In some countries, banks actively welcome foreigners, offering up to 70% to 80% financing and rates that are more competitive than you’ll get back home.
I break it all down in this new 5-minute video on my YouTube channel: “Can I Get a Mortgage Overseas?”
Check it out below, then join me in the comments. I’m answering questions live right now…
In this five-minute video, I reveal where foreign buyers can—and can’t—get a mortgage overseas. Click to view. And then ask any questions you have in the comments. I’m answering them live right now…
With my YouTube channel, I’m sharing insights from my 20+ years of scouting and investing in overseas real estate. In my new video, I dig into financing, highlighting…
- Countries where banks roll out the red carpet for foreign buyers, with easy application processes and highly competitive rates.
- Countries where it’s possible, but tricky—think higher rates, more red tape, and hoops you’ll need to jump through.
- And countries where banks make it difficult or impossible—meaning you may have to get creative with developer or seller financing.
So which countries make it easy…which are tricky…and which are impossible…
Where do Portugal, France, Panama, Italy, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic rank?
The answers are in my new video. Watch it here—it only takes five minutes. Then, when you’re done, join the conversation. I want my new channel to serve as a platform for sharing questions, insights, and ideas.
Lots of folks have already asked me questions in the comments. John asked this…

I’ve gotten lots of other comments and questions too. Among them…

- And yet another had a question about current mortgages rates in Spain.
You’ll find an answer to these questions and many others on my new YouTube channel here.
