Lenders for foreign investors

[Andrea Proeber]

I am a Realtor in Central Florida. Our brokerage has a healthy property management division which attracts a lot of investors.

In the past, finding a lender or program for a foreign investor was easy but since covid that seems to have changed dramatically.

Is anyone currently utilizing a lender that can/will lend to foreigners? Fully 30% of investors here in Florida are foreigners so this seems a little disconcerting for us.

Every one that I have reached out to have sent me emails back similar to this:
"Andrea,

I appreciate you reaching out! Unfortunately, we cannot lend to foreign investors. Due to our regulations, I honestly can’t think of anyone that can."

Thoughts? Recommendations? Referrals?
