Short answer: Financing options for foreign buyers are limited; most construction projects here are self-
funded.
Why it matters: Buyers coming from the US or Canada, where construction loans are common, are often
surprised this isn’t the standard path here — and it changes how a budget needs to be planned.
What to check:
● Confirm your total available budget before committing to land, since financing likely won’t fill
gaps mid-project
● Ask your builder about milestone-based payment structures instead of assuming loan-style
financing
● Talk to a local financial advisor about what limited options do exist for your specific situation
Bottom line: Plan your build as a cash project from the start — assuming financing will be available later
is one of the more common and costly planning mistakes.
