@Abraham Pereda you're welcome.

Two things here:

1. A US bank won't lend to a business in Mexico, unless your US LLC has an established business in the US with a strong balance sheet that makes your LLC bankable regardless of the Mexican business.

2. You're basically asking for an unsecured line of credit, which you'd only get if you have an established business with a strong balance sheet in the US (and you already do business with the lender).

Add 1 and 2 and it sounds like mission impossible to me. The problem here is the risk for the lender and such a structure would make their risk even higher.

By the way, these days, interest rates in Mexico aren't that much lower than those in the US. Moreover, assuming that you could get the kind of loan you're talking about in the US, I suspect your interest rate won't be lower than the 10-12% in the US.

Interesting, thanks you Mike. In case your aré interested, I am selling a 12 Unit in Playa del Carmen, 10min from the beach. It Is a fixer, good for rentals.

@Dan H., your tagging of me didn't work (I think you can't tag somebody that hasn't commented yet in the thread) but Abraham sent me a DM.

I'm still putting a brief answer here to benefit everybody else. Basically, the financing has to come from the country where the collateral is. So that would be Mexico, unless Abraham can give some collateral in the US or another country and get financing there.

 Thank you @Mike Lambert for your answer. I understand this, now Mexico average interest is about 10-12% right now. Do you have any idea if there is a loan product in the US given to an LLC, not necesarily to buy real estate, but maybe capital to invest in your business. What I was thinking was to send the revenue the hotel makes to an LLC in the US, so the LLC has some money flowing in and can qualify for a business loan or open a line of credit. Maybe between 50k to 100k would be nice and that way have a better interest rate than Mexico.

Do you think this is feasible?

Hello I recently bought a resort in Valle de Guadalupe, Mexico, wine country 1 hr drive from San Diego, CA. I had owner finance $3,000,000 dollars, 4% interest rate, 10 year term. The resort is in a 7.7 acre land, has a hotel with 30+ rooms, restaurant, bar, wine cellar, vineyard, cabins, pool, event venue, etc. 

I am looking for additional capital to invest in remodeling, where can I get some funding if the property or business is in Mexico? 
If I move the business and taxes to the USA through an LLC, would that be a smart move to get funding and better interest rates than Mexico's banks, even though the property is in Mexico?
I am even considering partnering to accelerate growth. I have worked the business for 1.5 years and know the market...

Hello Dan let me know how we can talk

This is a construction proyect in one of the most expensive areas of Mexicali, Baja Mexico. Its under contract and will be building a 14 unit apartment building. There is still room for more investors. It has a 21% Cash on Cash Return, Its a Ground Lease proyect for 15 years. At the end of the 15 years you would have a total ROI of 324%. This is in a conservative scenario.
