If you use a loan, it is still best to do so only if the loan is secured by assets in excess of the amount borrowed.

As long as the loan is not secured by the EB-5 project, that should work.

A loan could be used. SBA loans, however, would likely contain limitations on the use of said funds for purposes of EB-5-like investments.

Yes, analysis is different depending on whether you are using a secured or unsecured loan, but both are acceptable.
