Other reasons for buying foreign properties can be NRIs who want to buy homes in their homeland. Sitting miles across in a different country, you cannot make a perfect decision on how to purchase land or property in your homeland.

As regards the islands, there are banks willing to finance the islands against some collateral. You can also use the services of the online moneylenders who even offer unsecured loans to buy the assets. But the only problem in this case is that the property is under the name of the moneylender until you repay the loan.

For NRIs, the best method is to get into touch with their relatives or friends expressing their willingness to buy property in their homeland. These friends will in turn contact some broker and help you locate a good location as well as with the paperwork without you even leaving the country you are currently residing in.
