A real estate loan, commonly known as a mortgage, is a financial arrangement in which a lender provides funds to a borrower to purchase, build, or refinance real estate. This loan enables the acquisition or enhancement of property without requiring the full payment upfront, offering a structured approach to managing property costs by spreading payments over time. This makes substantial real estate investments more affordable and manageable.
Real estate loans cover various property types, including hotels, retail spaces, industrial facilities, office buildings, residential properties, and more. Banks, as financial institutions, offer these loans and other financial services to both individuals and businesses. Regulated entities, banks accept public deposits and utilize these funds to extend credit, including real estate loans. These loans are provided by a range of sources, including banks, non-banking financial institutions, and other providers, and are utilized by diverse end-users such as businesses and individuals.

For example, according to the National Association of Realtors, foreign buyers spent $59 billion on existing homes in the U.S. from April 2021 to March 2022, reflecting an 8.5% increase compared to the previous year. This trend underscores the role of growing foreign investment in advancing the real estate loan market.
