All of them enjoy the benefits of the smooth process of buying a property here, even if they do not live in the United States or are not U.S. citizens. Is important that you know that foreign buyers can purchase a property here without special requirements, in the same way U.S. citizens or permanent residents are able to. The only difference that you will notice is if you buy with financing. Let me explain the options.

If you are a cash buyer, the process will be faster and with less closing costs, plus you can negotiate benefits, as a lower price, or receive some incentives from sellers, such as part of the closing costs. This varies depending on the property If you need a loan to purchase, the process will be longer and more expensive, but this is the way that many buyers do it. If financing is required, you must qualify with the parameters that the lender request. You must be sure that the lender offers mortgages for foreign nationals. As important note, if you buy with financing, you will be required to have between 30%-40% down payment, in addition to the closing costs. This percentage can be higher depending on your financial situation and the type of loan that you qualify for.

All other property expenses, such monthly utility bills and maintenance fees are the same for everyone, regardless of where the owner lives or come from.
Regardless of the way of purchase, you'll enjoy all the perks of owning a wonderful property here, including having an excellent return of investment.
Keep in mind that even if you don't live here, you will still need to pay property taxes, and other taxes as for example to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), if you decided to rent your property either long-term or as a vacation home. It is important that you know your tax obligations as an owner, and we suggest you consult with an accountant or the IRS office.
