Having a good company to work with is a must if you are serious about making your Florida home a success. The people you work with have to understand any concerns you may have about investing in a property thousands of miles away. When you are looking to buy any property abroad its extremely important the people you are taking advice from have either bought themselves or have many years’ experienc

e within the industry. This is a rule you should apply in any property market and not just Florida. The company you choose must also understand that the majority of buyers require rental income to pay the bills associated with owning a Florida home. Any company who doesn’t address these points has no credibility whatsoever.

🌴 Thinking about buying your dream home in Florida? Let’s talk about how you can make it happen! 🌟

After 20+ years of helping people like you purchase Florida homes, we’ve seen all kinds of situations. Whether you're a cash buyer or need some financial assistance, here are the four main ways to finance your Florida home purchase:

1️⃣ The Cash Buyer
If you’ve got enough funds saved to pay outright, congrats! You won’t need financing approval. Just bring proof of funds (like a bank statement), and you’ll be in a stronger position when negotiating.

💡 How we can help: We’ll negotiate the best price for you and assist with currency exchange to get you the best possible rate.

2️⃣ Raising Funds Yourself
Planning to sell shares, tap into your home equity, or access other assets? In the U.S., this often positions you as a cash buyer, which is great for negotiations.

💡 How we can help: Our UK mortgage advisors can guide you through accessing those funds, and we’ll ensure you get a great exchange rate.

3️⃣ Getting a Mortgage with a Deposit
As a foreign national, you’ll likely need at least a 30% deposit. The larger your deposit, the better your mortgage terms will be.

💡 How we can help: We’ll connect you with a trusted Florida mortgage broker or bank loan officer, and of course, we’ll assist with favorable currency exchange rates.

4️⃣ Raising the Deposit + Getting a Mortgage
Need to release equity to secure a deposit? No problem. Once you’ve got that, we’ll help you get the rest sorted with a Florida mortgage lender.

💡 How we can help: If your current lender doesn’t allow equity release, we’ll introduce you to a UK broker who can find the right lender for your needs.

No matter which option works best for you, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. 🤝

Got questions? Drop us a message or give us a call at 0845 260 2144. You can also email [email protected] for personalized advice.

07/11/2024

🌴 Thinking of buying a home in Florida? Here’s our journey to finding the perfect Orlando getaway and some tips we learned along the way! 🌴

Back in 2001, my wife Jill and I made our dream of owning a Florida home a reality. While I’ve shared bits of our story before, I thought it might be helpful to dive a little deeper into what that first trip was really like—and share a few tips for those of you considering a similar adventure!

Tip #1: ✈️ You don’t have to fly direct.
Connecting flights can often save you money. Jill and I flew through Washington, D.C., and got a mini-vacation there before heading to Orlando. Highly recommend adding a little adventure if you can!

On that first trip, we stayed in a “dream” resale home that, in hindsight, could’ve used some cosmetic updates. But when we toured show homes in places like Highlands Reserve and Ridgewood Lakes, we knew we wanted a new build and ultimately chose Ridgewood Lakes. We even had the chance to redesign the pool!

Tip #2: 💦 Get the largest pool deck you can afford.
Having extra outdoor space is a huge bonus, and it’s often affordable to expand the deck area if it’s not already included.

Tip #3: 💸 Negotiate on the extras.
Builders may hold firm on the base price, but they’re often flexible on add-ons. Don’t hesitate to ask!

After choosing our home, we spent the rest of our trip enjoying Orlando, visiting Disney, and even taking a mini-trip to Naples on the Gulf Coast.

Tip #4: 🏖️ Orlando vs. Gulf Coast?
Homes on the coast are beautiful, but the rental income usually isn’t as strong as what you’ll find in Orlando. For us, Orlando was the right choice.

These are just a few takeaways from our journey. If you’re dreaming of a Florida home, feel free to reach out for advice—I’d be happy to help!
