Good afternoon BP, In need of advice getting financing for a property overseas. My family has land in the Caribbean (Guyana) and was curious does anyone have any experience getting a loan from a US bank to fund the construction. Would hard money or private money touch such an endeavor?

@Kwame Knights It depends on a lot of factors. You could find a hard money lender, although it is also possible to go through more traditional channels, you would simply need to provide enough domestic collateral. Here's a pretty good article on it:

No banks or hard money lender outside of Guyana will ever finance that. Your only options are to find find hard money lenders in Guyana if they exist or give 100% US collateral to a US lender. Obviously, the second option defeats the purpose as it's not a financing on the project in Guyana. I assume that banks in Guyana won't lend to non-residents but you never know.

@Kwame Knights your best bet would be a HELOC or cash out refi on a US asset, and then transfer the money to Guyana for the project.
