Choosing the Right Property
Things to consider when buying your home

Is location everything when buying a new home? There are more personal factors to consider when buying a home.

Affordability
The main factor is affordability. It is possible to borrow money from the mortgage lenders. However, there is no point in buying the house of your dreams only to later find that you have financially over-committed yourself.

Location, location, location
You have heard it mentioned before, but it really is the key when taking into consideration the growth in value of your property. Properties in certain areas will hold their value a lot better than properties in less attractive areas, where generally lose their value a lot quicker in a buyer's market. You should consider what is important to you when deciding on a location, such as local transport facilities, distance from work, schools and entertainment.

Find the Right Property
The best way to find the right property is to create a working relationship with one agent and have that agent represent you. It costs you no money! Most buyers don't realize that the seller or developer pays the fee. You get the Realtor's knowledge at no cost. An experienced Realtor who has worked the market can find the right property for you and you save time. Based on your needs and wants a Realtor can show you the right property sooner without you driving all around hoping to find what you want, and you get all positives and negatives regarding any property you are interested in.

Foreign National Real Estate Buyers

With the current economic situation and with the problem that the housing market is facing in the United States, real estate investment opportunities were opened to foreign national buyers.

Take advantage of the low property prices that have declined significantly compared to previous years due to the oversupply and lower demand.

Benefit also from the devaluation of the US dollar! With the dollar at its lowest level, international buyers of US real estate can profit from the currency appreciation thanks to the current exchange rate.

Another big advantage is the availability of mortgage financing. You do not have to deplete your bank account. The financial market is favorable, the process is simple and there are a variety of programs available.

As a support for foreign investment, the U.S. Government proposed tax savings to boost foreign investment in real estate. Also when you buy real estate in the United States you can be confident that you are buying a property that is protected by our system of stable individual property rights.

In the U.S., real estate agents are paid by the seller not the buyer.

If you do not have local representation, contact me to represent you in South Florida or to refer you experienced real estate agents in any U.S. market.

Tips for foreign national buyers

Be sure to work with a real estate professional, licensed in the state you choose to invest in and experienced with international buyers.
You can get special prices on new properties ready to deliver, however the existing properties in established communities represent less risk.
Make sure the property you select is in good physical, financial and fiscal condition.
If you need financing, consult ahead of time with several different lenders and analyze its terms.
