Buying as a Canadian
What to know about owning property in the U.S.
No Citizenship Required
Foreign nationals can buy property in Florida with no residency or citizenship requirement. Cash and financed purchases are both common.
Financing as a Non-Resident
Several lenders offer foreign national mortgage programs, typically with a larger down payment than a U.S. resident would need.
Insurance & Property Taxes
Florida has no state income tax, but property taxes and homeowners insurance, including flood and wind coverage near the coast, are real costs to budget for.
FIRPTA on Sale
When a foreign owner sells, U.S. law generally requires a withholding at closing. A cross-border tax professional can help you plan around it well before you list.
How You Hold Title
Sole ownership, joint tenancy, or an LLC each carry different liability and estate implications, worth a conversation with a real estate attorney before you buy.
Cross-Border Tax Planning
Owning property in two countries has tax implications on both sides of the border. Our Concierge connects you with professionals who handle this regularly.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Every situation is different, speak with a cross-border accountant or real estate attorney about yours.
