Unlock U.S Real Estate options for your international investors

Has a lack of U.S. citizenship made it difficult for your international clients to meet their investment goals?

At Milo, we know that international clients often struggle to gain access to financing for US home loans. Mortgage loans for international clients can be hard to come by.

As a financial advisor, you likely know this story all too well. You probably hear time and time again from your international clients how they are struggling to find a mortgage loan, despite being qualified. Regardless of their qualifications, international investors are continually excluded from financial lending systems. But what does this mean for you?

There is a tremendous opportunity for financial advisors to help this under-served market segment. There are an estimated 35 million global millionaires — yet 58% of foreigners cannot obtain financing for their real estate purchases each year.

Often, international clients have financial means that go above and beyond traditional borrowers in the U.S. And yet, foreign nationals are often forced to jump through hoops to get a mortgage loan. Even then they aren’t always approved.

These circumstances have forced international investors into all-cash deals. 70% of U.S. residential real estate is purchased in cash. Offshore clients are often required to go through hoops to receive a mortgage loan, and even then, approval is not guaranteed.

Once the deal has closed, your clients’ money is locked into this real estate investment or asset. The funds are tied up into the investment and not easily moved. This takes away funds that could be used for other, more profitable or beneficial, uses.

At Milo, we think your clients are not the problem, it’s traditional financial institutions. We believe that all investors should have access to quality products and services to make their dream of investing in real estate a reality.
