You do not have to live here to own here.
You do not need to be a US citizen. You do not need a visa or a green card. You do not even need to get on a plane. We help buyers in Canada, Brazil, and everywhere else own property in Orlando.
Five things that are true no matter where you live.
People ask us these first, so here are the plain answers before anything else.
Anyone can buy
The United States lets people from other countries buy property. There is no citizenship rule, no visa rule, and no limit on how many you own.
You never have to fly here
We walk the property on video while you watch. You sign online. A notary can witness it in your own country. Many of our buyers see the place in person after they already own it.
You can get a loan
Banks lend to people who live abroad. Expect to put down 25 to 35 percent instead of 3 to 20. You do not need US credit history, but you do need to show where the money comes from.
Buying does not give you a visa
Owning property here does not let you live here. It is an investment, not immigration. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.
There is a tax when you sell
A rule called FIRPTA holds back part of the sale price when a foreign owner sells, and you claim it back on a tax return. Plan for it at the start, not at the end.
We speak your language
English, Spanish, and Portuguese. You explain your situation in the language you think in, not the one you translate into.
From your first call to the keys
Six steps. Every one of them can happen without you leaving your country.
We talk first
What you want the property to do for you: income, a place to stay, or something to hand to your children. The answer changes everything after it.
Sort out the money
Paying cash is simplest. If you want a loan, we introduce you to lenders who work with foreign buyers every day and know what papers they need from your country.
Decide how you hold it
In your own name, or through a company. This changes your taxes and your risk. We bring in a cross-border accountant before you choose, not after.
Shop by video
We walk properties for you on a live call and point out the problems, not just the pretty parts. You see it the way you would if you were standing there.
Close from home
Papers are signed online or in front of a notary near you. Money is wired. The title company handles the rest.
Someone looks after it
Property managers handle tenants, repairs, and rent while you are on the other side of the world. We introduce you to the ones we trust.
Run the numbers in your own money
You buy in dollars, but you think in your own currency. Pick yours and see the same deal both ways.
Your deal at a glance
Estimates for illustration only, not financial, tax, or lending advice. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, rents, and returns vary. We'll run real numbers on real inventory with you.
The parts that change country to country.
The property does not care where you live. Your bank, your tax office, and your currency do.
Canada
Our most common cross-border buyer. There is a tax treaty between the two countries, snowbird day-count rules to stay inside, and a currency swing that decides your real return.
Brazil
Orlando is the second home of Brazilian families, and the paperwork is well worn. Moving money out of Brazil takes planning and there is no tax treaty, so we bring in an accountant who works both sides early.
Falamos português.
Anywhere else
Mexico, Colombia, the UK, Europe, the Caribbean. The US side of the deal works the same way. What changes is your own country's rules on sending money and reporting what you own.
Hablamos español.
The words people are afraid to ask about
None of these are as bad as they sound. They just need to be planned for.
This is general information, not tax or legal advice. We are real estate professionals, not accountants or lawyers, and we will introduce you to both.
Tell us where you live. We will tell you what changes.
A short call in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. No pressure, no obligation, and you will leave knowing what your money can actually do here.
