Free 5-Minute Loan Check · For business owners in Nigeria

Dollar assets —
without tying up the cash your business needs.

You want part of what you built held in dollars — without pulling all the cash out of the business. Loan programs exist for buyers who live abroad. No green card. No U.S. credit. No SSN. The 4-Question Loan Check shows what a lender will ask for and where you stand, in five minutes — then the guide shows how to pick right from Lagos.

The questions buyers in Nigeria really ask:

You also get the Selection Guide and its three tools — and on day 12, the Buying Guide, signed offer to keys.

If your spouse asks first, "can we even get a loan from here?" — page 1 is where to start. A separate lender decides.

Where this ends: a U.S. home in your name, or in a structure your adviser chooses. Rent in dollars. A manager you can call. Papers your family could pick up tomorrow.

Not for you if: you want a quick flip, a timeshare, or someone to "handle everything" with no paperwork. This is for buyers who want a real home, in their name, bought the right way.

Questions, answered

Short answers to the questions buyers abroad ask first.

Can I get a U.S. home loan with no green card, no U.S. credit history and no Social Security number?
Loan programs exist for buyers who live outside the United States, and they do not require a green card, a U.S. credit score or an SSN. A separate, independent lender decides whether you qualify and sets the terms. Patrick Afrifah does not originate loans or offer or negotiate mortgage terms; he leads the home side and introduces a lender.
What will a U.S. lender ask a buyer living abroad for?
Four things, in general: a valid passport and a valid U.S. visa; proof of what you earn, usually the last three to six months of bank statements; statements showing the money for the down payment, closing costs and reserves, often in a U.S. bank account; and a clear record of where the money came from. The free 4-Question Loan Check puts these on one page.
Do I have to travel to the U.S. to buy a home?
No. The home can be viewed on video, inspected by your own inspector, and the closing documents can be signed from abroad. Some lenders and title companies have their own rules on remote signing, so this is confirmed in the first week.
Where does Patrick work?
Chicago and Illinois as a licensed real estate broker, and Texas as a licensed real estate sales agent. For a home elsewhere in the U.S. he refers you to a licensed broker in that state.
What is the 4-Question Loan Check?
A free two-page PDF. Page one is the four questions every lender asks a buyer living abroad. Page two shows what a home pays after every cost and how much of your wealth would sit in dollars. It is not a loan application and nobody reviews your answers; it shows you what to have ready before you pick a home.

Dollar assets, picked right —
without guessing your way through it.

Four questions. Five minutes. You know where you stand before you pick a home. Free.
