Financing Options for Foreign Buyers:
While paying in cash is common among foreign buyers, financing options are available:

• Foreign National Loans: These are tailored for non-resident aliens without U.S. credit history or Social Security numbers. They typically require:

• Valid passport and visa

• Proof of income (e.g., employment verification, pay stubs, tax returns)

• Bank statements showing funds for down payment and closing costs

• Employment verification

• Down payment verification  

• Down Payment Requirements: Expect to provide a down payment of at least 20% to 30%. 

• Loan Types: Some lenders offer loans based on the property’s cash flow (e.g., Debt-Service Coverage Ratio loans) rather than the borrower’s income. 
Steps to Purchase Property:

1. Obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN): This is necessary for tax purposes and can be acquired from the IRS.

2. Engage a Real Estate Agent: Work with an agent experienced in assisting foreign buyers.

3. Secure Financing: If not paying cash, begin the loan application process early to accommodate additional documentation requirements.

4. Hire Legal Assistance: Consider consulting with a real estate attorney to navigate contracts and ensure compliance with local laws.

5. Conduct Due Diligence: Research the property, including title checks and inspections.

6. Close the Deal: Finalize the purchase through a title company or attorney, ensuring all legal and financial obligations are met.
Tax Considerations:
Foreign buyers should be aware of U.S. tax obligations, including potential capital gains taxes and estate taxes. Consulting with a tax professional familiar with international real estate transactions is advisable.
