Waltz Secures $50 Million to Expand into Latin America’s Real Estate Market
Waltz Secures $50 Million for Expansion
Waltz, the innovative platform in real estate financing for foreign investors, has successfully raised $50 million in funding, a significant milestone that sets the stage for its expansion into the Latin American (LATAM) market. This funding consists of equity and debt, including a newly acquired $25 million line of credit, designed to facilitate a substantial increase in loan volume, targeting up to $1 billion.
With a growing global interest in U.S. real estate, Waltz's platform allows foreign investors to navigate the complexities of real estate financing with ease. Investors can form LLCs, open U.S. bank accounts, exchange currencies, secure financing, and finalize property purchases through its all-encompassing digital interface. This has proved essential as the company strives to meet the rising demand from LATAM countries such as Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina.
Since launching in July 2024, Waltz has processed over $300 million in loan applications across four continents. The newly secured capital signals the company’s commitment to enhancing its operational capacity to service U.S. investment needs amid global economic fluctuations. The demand from LATAM has been substantial, confirming the U.S. real estate's status as a robust investment option.
According to Yuval Golan, Founder and CEO of Waltz, “U.S. real estate presents a blue-chip investment opportunity for foreign nationals, bringing stability in line with the historically strong U.S. economy. This stability not only aids in wealth creation through favorable financing options but also opens avenues for passive income and property appreciation.”
Waltz has already partnered with some of the nation's leading brokerages including RE/MAX and eXp Realty, leveraging its technology to disrupt traditional financing models. Their platform employs advanced AI to enhance every aspect of the lending process from onboarding through to loan selling, ensuring a seamless experience.
Furthermore, the use of this capital will also enable Waltz to launch localized support in LATAM, backed by a multilingual team proficient in ten languages. This support will include Spanish and Portuguese resources aimed at easing communication and ensuring that potential investors receive tailored assistance.
As part of its expansion, Waltz is also in the final preparations to introduce advanced technological capabilities tailored for LATAM countries, such as rapid foreign exchange services and swift cross-border transfers, beginning with the largest markets in the region.
