Kind of like if one of us wanted to purchase a home in Nigeria...it would be harder for us to buy there because the banking system gives it's citizens better loans that people who are not citizens.  

I just came in as an LP on a 107-unit senior living community in the south suburbs of IL, and I also volunteer with Hospice patients (spend a fair amount of time in ALFs + nursing homes, which I do NOT like very much but realize they are necessary).

-Mexico citizen, born and raised in Colorado, and over the past few years I’ve been actively investing in Mexican real estate — mostly in presale condos and long-term or vacation rental markets like Guadalajara, Cancún, and Lake Chapala.I originally started by looking for affordable, well-located properties for personal use, but as I dug deeper, I realized there were real opportunities for long-term appreciation, rental income, and geographic diversification — often with as little as $20–30k down.The process isn’t as complicated as people think, but there are definitely key things to understand, including:How foreigners can legally own property in Mexico (especially in restricted zones like the coast),How presale contracts and developer relationships work,What kinds of rental strategies are viable in different markets (Airbnb, mid-term, or traditional long-term),Currency and exchange rate considerations, title safety, and banking between the U.S. and Mexico.One major advantage of presale in Mexico is that many developers offer in-house, interest-free financing during construction, allowing buyers to spread out payments over 24–36 months — without involving a bank or mortgage process.

Interest rates are often controlled by politics, be it a president who wants to get reelected, a failed bank system like in previous recessions, housing policies in determining who gets loans, foreclosure holds, a lot of factors we as citizens have no control over. 

US citizen can buy in Croatia.Interest rate is 3.5 to 4%.15 year termWill ask the commercial realtor if there is a balloon period, Or if the loan amort period can be 20 to 25 years. 

It is unfortunate that it is in a senior living community and that you cannot owner coups it.  

The challenge IMO will be the operations and liabilities.Looking to the future i think senior assisted living will be a thing.

And as a result, the Social Security Administration said it will be increasing checks for seniors by 2.8% for 2026, more than this year’s 2.5% increase.

He has 40 in another.Greed.... the only remedy without paying is for the senior lender to foreclose all those liens out . 

Hey everyone,My partner and I both have experience in real estate and construction abroad, and we’re now looking to break into the U.S. market — specifically in fix-and-flip and small residential development.I'm a U.S. citizen and resident.
