  • Condominium purchase
  • New Construction
  • Refinancing (redemption of an existing loan)
  • House/Condominium: “Cash-out”-Refinancing

How long can a fixed interest rate-period be for foreign national?

  • In most cases, Foreign Nationals are offered an ARM, Adjustable-Rate Mortgage. This means that you will receive a fixed rate of 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 years depending on the program.

What type of documents does a foreign national need for financing in Florida?

  • Proof of income (written declaration from your accountant or employer and pay stubs)
  • Credit report from home country (if possible)
  • Proof of sufficient assets for down payment, closing costs, and reserves ( i.e. 2-3 months bank statements- must verify large deposits)
  • 3 references from either local banks or car loan companies, or credit card companies
  • Some banks require tax returns from home country

Do you, a foreign national, have to be present in the USA to close on your new property?

  • Many lenders do not compel you to be present within the USA at any point in the process.
  • From credit application to closing, the entire process can be done over the phone/fax/or by courier. However, some lenders do require an in-person interview.
  • Many lenders will require closing documents to be signed by a US Notary either in the US or at the US Embassy within your country.
