Florida-specific

What Florida buyers should know

South Florida title, insurance, and HOA docs are frequently required in Spanish and Portuguese. Joann's team coordinates translations, in-country notarization, and wire logistics so international closings actually close on time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a US Social Security Number to buy in Florida?+

No. Foreign national programs qualify off international credit and asset documentation. ITIN programs are also available if you have or will get an ITIN.

How much do I need to put down as a foreign national?+

Usually 25–30% for a second home or investment purchase, sometimes higher for jumbo loan amounts. Joann quotes real down-payment scenarios against your target Florida property.

Can I use rental income to qualify?+

Yes — DSCR foreign-national loans qualify off the property's projected rent, not personal income abroad.
