Good Morning;
My name is Larry Schlesser and I am the Owner/Broker of RE/MAX on Roatan. In regard to transferring funds, you can easily transfer funds, (after you establish a bank account here), country to country. There are no issues, we do it i our country all but daily.
Financing through banks is available only with people who are legal residents or citizens though about half of the sellers offer financing or would consider such when selling property. You may wish to view these two links which would be very helpful.
and
Another great source is this link where updated real estate options and community news happens the first of each month, ( a new one will go up tomorrow.
You can reach me at larry@roatan-realtor.com if you have questions or concerns or I also have a U.S. phone line that you can call if you wish we can set up a call. We have assisted many in relocation.
Larry
