1. You should start with talking to a local mortgage broker if you would like to ask questions or get advice feel free to contact me, I can help.
2. talk with Bank of America ---they have a loan program where they approve illegal migrants from mexico with no documentation to purchase a home here in the US...so i am sure they may be able to assist you as well. good luck :)
3. These are all good answers, because having the financing in place at the beginning of your search will let you know your possible spending budget. So, at the very least, get prequalified for a loan, if you need one. IT'S FREE and can be done over the telephone with most local lenders or mortgage brokers. Once you select your loan package, there will be fees, depending on the price of the home. If you have cash, the closing costs will generally be for title insurance and document states - again, depending on the cost of the home. When you have an idea of what you can spend, check out: www.WorldProperties.com This international website will help you translate information to the language and currency of your choice - and let you search for property in Florida. I am a licensed Florida REALTOR and would be happy to assist you in any way - including sending you a selection of local bankers and mortgage brokers to get you started on the financial side. Send me an email with more information regarding your plans and I can provide more detail to you. Good luck and best wishes.
4. No problem, if you have the cash. If you want a mortgage, you need established credit and a visa.
5. It is pretty simple, a foreign national can buy property in Florida like any US citizen. A lot of local banks are having special programs for mortgages for foreign nationals. The only thing you need is your passport and if you are financing your property in Florida you might be required to have a downpayment of 20% - 35% plus you might be required to escrow a few month payments, property taxes and insurance.
6. its not a problem anymore , just look for a bank in Florida that allows foreign people to own a house and lot on that place
