The US market is open
to international buyers.

Florida — and Miami in particular — is one of the most active markets for international real estate investment in the world. Non-US citizens can legally purchase property and obtain mortgage financing. The process is more documentation-intensive than a domestic loan, but it's well-established and we've done it many times.

The key variables are: your immigration status (non-resident alien vs. resident alien vs. ITIN holder), whether the property is investment or primary, and where your income and assets are held. Each combination has a specific program and lender.

"Foreign national and ITIN documentation handled with ease — in English or Spanish."

Alex is bilingual and Miami-based. He understands the Latin American buyer profile — the income structures, the asset documentation, the tax treaty implications, and the specific lenders who handle international transactions efficiently.

01

Immigration status review

We identify your visa type or residency status to determine which program applies — foreign national (non-resident), resident alien, or ITIN.

02

Income documentation

Foreign income documents translated and certified where required. International bank statements, employment letters, or business documentation depending on program.

03

Asset and reserves verification

US or foreign-held assets. Wire transfer history. International bank statements. We know which lenders accept which documentation sources.

04

Credit — US and international

US credit pull if available. International credit reports or alternative credit documentation accepted on most programs. No US credit history required on foreign national programs.

05

Close and own

We coordinate with your US attorney, title company, and international bank to make the closing process smooth — even across time zones.

Two paths to ownership.

The right program depends on your status, income source, and intended use of the property.
