Financing for foreigners

April 9th, 2008 bfwilson Posted in Real Estate No Comments »

Mortgage financing for foreigners

Generally, purchasing a home in Guatemala by a foreigner has always been a cash proposition. As more and more foreigners are inquiring if there is a possibility to finance, we have managed to make an arrangement with one of Guatemala’s larger banks to provide funding.

The following requirements will satisfy the lender.
  1. A copy of the buyers bank account for the previous 6 months showing a reasonable cash flow and balance.
  2. A certified copy from an employer to verify
    employment, and the number of years employed.
  3. A financial statement showing current assets and
    liabilities (short and long term)
  4. A copy of a current passport.
  5. A minimum down payment of 30% of the appraised
    value of the home. The buyer is responsible to have
    the appraisal done.
  6. A loan approval will take approx. 8 working days to
    either approve or reject.
  7. The appraisal will not be required until the loan
    has been approved as to the credit worthiness of the
    buyer.
  8. The interest rate is not fixed, and currently (in
    late 2006), the rate is 7.5% in US Dollars. The
    interest rate is pegged to the US Dollar at the time
    of the loan.
  9. The lender will, with the written agreement of the
    buyer, undertake to obtain a credit bureau report from
    the purchaser country of residence.

Basically, there is little difference that obtaining a
loan in your home country.

Casa Nova will act as the go between for the purchaser
if required, to expediate the transaction.

Casa Nova will not charge any fees for this service.
