Buying from abroad

Foreign national mortgages in South Florida

South Florida is one of the most popular places in the country for international buyers. A foreign national mortgage finances a U.S. property for a buyer who does not hold U.S. citizenship or permanent residency, often without a U.S. credit history.

FAQ

Questions about Foreign National Loans

Who counts as a foreign national borrower?

Generally a buyer who is neither a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident. Your exact status decides which programs apply, so tell us about it early.

Do I need a U.S. credit score?

Not always. Many foreign national programs accept international credit references or alternative documentation.

Is a larger down payment required?

Usually, yes. Foreign national loans typically require more down than a standard purchase. We give you the lender's requirement for your purchase.

Can I buy a condo?

Often, yes. The building has to meet the lender's condominium requirements, which we check before you commit.

Can I close without flying to Florida?

In many cases. Depending on the lender and title company, documents can be signed abroad before a notary or at a consulate.

Can I rent the property out?

Many buyers do. Tell us your plans at the start, because occupancy affects which programs are available.
