Can I buy property in Florida as a Canadian?

Yes. Canadians can legally purchase property in Florida without needing U.S. citizenship or residency. The process is well-established, and with the right guidance, it’s straightforward.

Can I get financing in the U.S. as a Canadian?

Yes. There are lenders who specialize in working with Canadian buyers. Requirements are a bit different than in Canada, but we connect you with trusted mortgage professionals who will walk you through your options.

How much do I need for a down payment?

This can vary depending on the lender and the property. For foreign national financing, most lenders typically require between 25% and 30% down. We help you understand what to expect early so there are no surprises.

Can I rent out the property?

In many areas, yes. but rules vary by city, community, and property type. We guide you toward properties that align with your rental goals and make sure you understand any restrictions before you buy.

Do I need to live in the U.S. to own property there?

No. Many of our clients own property in Florida while living full-time in Canada. You can visit seasonally, rent it out, or hold it for future use.

What costs should I expect beyond the purchase price?

In addition to the purchase price, you should plan for closing costs, property taxes, insurance, and ongoing maintenance. If you plan to rent the property, there may also be management fees. We walk you through all of this upfront.

Does buying property help me move to the U.S.?

Buying property does not automatically grant residency or a visa. However, it can be part of a longer-term plan. We can connect you with the right legal professionals if you’re considering that path.

Why should I use a Canadian-connected team instead of just a local Florida agent?

local agent knows Florida. A Canadian-connected team knows Florida and understands exactly where you're coming from. the banking differences, the cross-border paperwork, the questions you didn't even know to ask. That's the difference we bring to every client relationship.
