There is no legal restriction for a foreigner to invest in real estate in the US. You have the same benefits as an American investor.
You may invest in your own name or form an LLC (Limited Liability Company) that will protect the rest of your assets in case of litigation. Corporate taxation in the US is protective and very advantageous, it facilitates problems related to the right of succession among others. Partners are anonymous and the sale of shares is managed internally.
We select our properties according to three main criteria :
1- Location : the property must be located in an area of high rental demand
2- Price : If possible we acquire properties on Short sale or Foreclosure (taken over by the banks), at prices often below market value
3- Rentability : The rental price must be able to generate net rental ratios ranging from 5 to 10%
In the case of a cash payment for a conventional sale, the fees, disbursements and fees related to the signing are approximately $ 1,000. This includes attorney's fees, registration fees, and miscellaneous expenses such as sending letters and the like. Allow about 0.60% of the purchase price for title insurance (mandatory), to protect yourself against the debts of the previous owner. There is no notary fees in the United States or agency fees to be expected.
The Title company in the USA is the equivalent of the Notary in France. It takes care of all the investigations related to the property title. The property title is registered in public records. The ``closing`` corresponds to all the administrative procedures until the definitive signature of the act. The procedures are strictly defined and simplified compared to the European system.
There is one global tax on a property called “property tax”. It is calculated on the property value and also includes residential, city and school taxes. It represents approximately 1.8% of the appraised value of the subject property. It is paid on an annual basis to the County Tax Collector (Miami-Dade county, Broward county, Palm Beach county, etc). The local County Appraiser is assessing the tax amount each year upwards or downwards depending on the market value.
