Financial Services
To Purchase a Home:
Financial Services are available for all who desire to purchase a home in Florida.
It is much easier to obtain financing for those buyers already living in the U.S.A. and for U.S.A. citizens, since their financial records are easily accessible. The down payment can be as low as 0% for owner occupants, and up to 10% of the sales price of the home for investors.
It is a little more difficult and time consuming for foreign buyers because their funds must be “seasoned” in the U.S.A. for a period of time and the source of funds must be documented. Most lenders require 30% - 35% down payment and six months reserves (monthly payments) in the bank to qualify. Since their financial records are overseas, it takes a little more time to process. Closing costs are pretty much the same for each type of buyer. We have competent mortgage lenders who will handle all the details and make the process as smooth as possible.
When you contact us, we will give you the name and phone number of our affiliated mortgage lender who will take your information and process your loan. All the information you give the mortgage lender is confidential and used only to qualify you for loan.
Once that is completed, we will direct you to our Real Estate affiliate who will help you find your “DREAM” home here in the Central Florida area. See RE-SALE HOMES or NEW HOMES.
To Purchase a Business:
At the present time, financing is not available for the foreign buyer. Businesses are purchased with cash. In some rare cases, the business seller may hold a small “promissory note”. See OWN A BUSINESS.
