For international and out-of-state buyers, South Florida is one of the most accessible markets in the U.S. This hub covers financing without a U.S. credit history, rental returns, remote closings, and the realities of moving to — or investing from outside — Florida.
For foreign buyers
- Foreign-national loan programs and typical down payments
- Buying remotely: power of attorney and remote closings
- Rental ROI and short-term-rental rules by city
- FIRPTA and U.S. tax basics for non-resident owners
Does buying property get me a visa?
On its own, no. Buying real estate in the U.S. does not grant a visa or residency. Investor routes like EB-5 and the E-2 treaty-investor visa have their own separate requirements. Real estate and immigration are two different processes, and we can point you to qualified immigration counsel.
