Waltz, an all-in-one platform that streamlines U.S. residential real estate financing for foreign national investors, announced it has raised a total of $50 million in equity and debt funding to date, including a new $25 million line of credit.
What Waltz does: Waltz’s end-to-end digital platform enables foreign investors to quickly and easily form an LLC, open a U.S. bank account, exchange currencies, secure financing, and close on property purchases.
How the funding will be used: The new funding round will be used to support Waltz’s ability to fund up to $1 billion in loan volume.
How the credit line will be used: This new line of credit is provided by affiliates of Setpoint Capital. Waltz will use this line of credit to originate additional U.S. mortgage loans for foreign buyers through its fully digital platform so that it can support Waltz’s official launch across Latin America (LATAM), with a focus on Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina, the first three being the region’s most significant sources of U.S. real estate investment. Since launching in July 2024, Waltz has processed over $300 million in loan applications across four continents.
Momentum: During times of global economic uncertainty, Waltz has seen strong demand for U.S. investment property mortgages from LATAM. And Waltz has already transacted with the nation’s largest brokerages like RE/MAX and eXp Realty. And the company is spearheading and disrupting the industry with its technology enhanced by AI across all aspects, from onboarding to underwriting, processing, and selling loans to Wall Street’s most reputable institutions such as Acra Lending (subsidiary of HPS, acquired by BlackRock), Atlas SP (backed by Apollo), and others.
Latin American expansion: Waltz’s expansion into Latin America follows a successful beta rollout and inbound interest from the region. Building on a multilingual team that speaks ten languages, Waltz has introduced dedicated resources for Latin Americans, offering localized content and support in both Spanish and Portuguese through specialized marketing, while expanding its sales and customer support teams.
The company is also in the final stages of bringing its advanced technologies and capabilities, such as foreign exchange and quick cross-border transfers, to LATAM countries, starting with Mexico and Brazil.
KEY QUOTES:
“The demand from Latin America was immediate and that is not surprising—U.S. real estate is a blue chip investment for foreign nationals. The stability, rooted in the historical strength of the U.S. economy, facilitates wealth creation from financing options, the potential for passive income streams, and property value appreciation. When paired with customer-centric digital solutions, it becomes clear why digital platforms like Waltz resonate with today’s global investors.”
Yuval Golan, Founder and CEO of Waltz
“With Waltz’s full-service approach, they are streamlining investment opportunities and making it easier for individuals across the globe to invest in income-producing residential properties in the US. Setpoint is proud to provide a tailored credit solution as they continue to scale.”
