What is FIRPTA and how does it affect foreign sellers?

The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) requires that when a foreign person sells U.S. real estate, the buyer must withhold 15% of the gross sales price and remit it to the IRS. We work with specialized tax accountants to help you navigate exemptions or apply for an early refund.

Can a foreign national get a mortgage for a Florida investment property?

Yes. Many Florida lenders specialize in Foreign National Loans. These typically require a larger down payment (often 30% to 40%), proof of income from your home country, and a reserve account. The process is streamlined but requires specific documentation.

What are the tax implications of renting out my Florida vacation home?

If you rent out your vacation home, the income is subject to U.S. income tax. You can choose to have 30% of your gross rental income withheld, or file a U.S. tax return to deduct expenses and pay taxes only on the net income. Establishing an LLC is a common strategy for tax efficiency.

How does A.I. help me find better investments?

We use predictive analytics to identify emerging neighborhoods, forecast rental yields, and spot undervalued properties before they become mainstream.

Can I do a 1031 Exchange in Florida?

Absolutely. Florida is a top destination for 1031 exchanges. We can guide you through the timeline and identify replacement properties that meet IRS requirements.

Are there restrictions on short-term rentals?

Yes, many cities and condo associations have strict rules regarding Airbnb and short-term rentals. We specifically target properties and municipalities that legally permit them.
