⚽ For Our International Visitors 🌍

The World Cup Is Over. Your Florida Story Doesn’t Have to Be.

Fans from Europe, South America, and every corner of the world just spent a summer discovering what we already knew: South Florida is special. The matches ended — but one question is riding home on the plane: “How do I own a piece of this?”

Start My Florida Investment

Foreign national financing · Full advisor network · Simpler than you think

You came for the matches. You fell for Florida.

The sights, the sounds, the beaches, the nightlife — and yes, the real estate. Visitors from all over the world walked our neighborhoods this summer and did the mental math on what a condo on the water might mean: a vacation home, a rental income property, a foothold in the U.S. market.

Here’s what most of them don’t know: you don’t need to be a citizen, a resident, or even have a U.S. credit history to finance property here.

A quick word on what we do: we’re a mortgage broker firm — we don’t sell you the property, and we don’t fund the loans ourselves. What we do is arrange financing for foreign investors through our network of lenders who specialize in exactly this — and surround you with the full team it takes to buy here smoothly.

The Foreign Investor Playbook

Three moves. That’s the setup.

💰

Have Your Capital Ready

Plan for at least 30% of the purchase price down, plus roughly another 5% for closing costs — the typical structure for foreign national financing.

On a $500K condo: about $150K down + ~$25K closing. Your money, working in one of America’s strongest markets.

💡 The rest is financed — no need to buy all-cash like many foreign buyers mistakenly assume.

🏢

Set Up Your Florida Entity

Most foreign investors establish a Florida LLC or corporation with themselves as the owners. The property gets titled in the entity’s name — while you, the person behind the entity, secure the loan.

Structure, liability protection, and cleaner ownership — the standard playbook.

💡 Our attorney and CPA network sets this up routinely — you don’t have to figure out U.S. paperwork alone.

🏦

Open a U.S. Bank Account

You’ll want a U.S. bank account established early — it’s one of the practical requirements for lending. It’s where your deposits land, your funds season, and your transaction flows.

It also makes life easier after closing: paying the property’s bills from abroad becomes effortless.

💡 Easier than you’d expect — we’ll point you to the right doors.

You bring the dream. We bring the whole bench. ⚽

Buying from abroad takes a team — and ours is already warmed up. One call plugs you into the full network:

The fans who visited this summer saw the lifestyle. The smart ones will own the asset. The World Cup gave you the introduction — the follow-up meeting is up to you.

Common Questions

Foreign Investor FAQ

Can foreigners really get a mortgage in Florida?

Yes — and it's more common than you'd think. Foreign national loan programs are designed exactly for this: no U.S. credit history required, income documented from your home country, and financing arranged through our network of lenders who specialize in international buyers.

How much money do I need to buy as a foreign investor?

Plan for at least 30% of the purchase price as a down payment, plus roughly another 5% for closing costs — that's the typical structure for foreign national financing. On a $500K property, that means having about $175K ready.

Should I buy in my personal name or through an LLC?

Most foreign investors establish a Florida LLC or corporation with themselves as owners — the property is titled in the entity's name, while the person behind the entity secures the loan. It's a conversation for your attorney and CPA — and yes, we can connect you with both.

Do I need a U.S. bank account?

Yes — it's one of the practical requirements for lending. You'll want a U.S. account established so you can make deposits, season your funds, and handle the transaction smoothly. Setting one up is easier than most investors expect.

I don't live in the U.S. — how does the process work remotely?

Beautifully. Between digital documentation, remote notarization options, and our full network — attorneys, CPAs, insurance agents — many foreign investors complete the entire purchase without an extra trip. Though most find an excuse to visit anyway. 🏖️
