How to Buy Real Estate in the USA: A Complete Guide for Foreign Investors

1. Introduction. Why is it worth buying real estate in the USA?

Imagine having an apartment in sunny Miami or a house in Texas that not only preserves your savings, but also generates monthly income in dollars. While you are minding your own business, tenants are paying for your housing, and the value of real estate is increasing year by year.

This is not fantasy - this is the reality of investing in American real estate. Over the past 10 years, the average home price in the United States has increased by more than 60%, despite all the crises and pandemics. The US real estate market has proven its resilience.

01.1Why do investors choose the US?

Stable Economy - Your investment is protected by one of the most robust legal systems in the world. Here they cannot simply “take away” real estate or change the rules of the game retroactively.

Real income - rental yield in large cities is 5-8% per annum. This is money that is deposited into your account every month in US dollars. Plus a potential increase in the value of the real estate itself.

Currency diversification - your capital is protected in the world's most stable currency. When the ruble, euro or other currencies fluctuate, the dollar remains a safe haven.

Transparency - no gray schemes. All transactions go through escrow (secure accounts), all rights are carefully checked, the entire history of the property is open.

2. Is it possible to buy real estate in the USA without citizenship

Good news: yes, you can! And it's easier than it seems.

This is what surprises most foreigners - in the United States there are no restrictions on buying real estate without citizenship. You don't need a green card, you don't need a visa, you don't have to wait years for permits. You can buy a house in America while in another country with only a foreign passport.

What you really need:

Passport - your regular international passport. No special documents.

ITIN number is a tax number for foreigners (analogous to the American Social Security Number). It turns out specifically for the transaction in 4-6 weeks. Your realtor or tax consultant will help you arrange it.

Proof of Funds - The bank or merchant will want to make sure you have the money. An account statement and a bank certificate are a standard procedure.

Real-life example: Anna from Kazakhstan bought an apartment in Orlando for $180,000 without ever having had a US visa. The process from decision to receipt of keys took 2.5 months. Now he rents out through Airbnb and receives $1,500-2,000 net monthly.

Important Tax Point: Owning real estate does NOT give you a visa or the right to live in the US. But it imposes tax obligations - you will have to declare income and pay taxes, like any owner of American real estate.

3. Types of real estate to buy in the USA

The American market offers options for every budget and strategy - from a $100,000 apartment to multi-million dollar apartment complexes. Let's figure out what's right for you.

Single Family Houses

This is a classic American dream - a detached house with a lawn and a garage. Ideal for long-term rentals for families.

Pros: Full control of the property, no HOAs or minimum down payments, better upside potential. Renters tend to be more responsible and stay longer.

Cons: All responsibility for repairs is on you. The roof leaks - your $10,000. The air conditioner is broken - your $5,000. You need to mow the lawn, remove the snow, take care of the house.

Yield: 4-6% per annum of rental income.

For whom: Investors with a budget of $200,000 or more, ready for long-term ownership.

Condos

An apartment in an apartment building - like in Europe or Russia, but with American specifics.

Pros: Affordable entry point ($100,000+ in good locations), minimal maintenance headaches, often has a pool and fitness center, great for short-term rentals.

Cons: Monthly HOA fees ($200-500) that can add up. The association may restrict rentals. They rise in price more slowly.

Yield: 6-9% in tourist locations (Miami, Orlando).

For whom: Beginner investors, long-distance owners, lovers of passive income.

Example: Sergey bought an oceanfront condo in Miami Beach for $250,000. HOA $400/mo but includes all utilities. Rented through Airbnb, earns $3,500/month in season, $2,000/month out of season. Average net profit is $1,200/month or 5.7% per annum.

Townhouses

The golden mean - more space than a condo, less hassle than a house.

Pros: Usually 2-3 floors, small courtyard, separate entrance. Moderate HOA fees. Popular among young families.

Cons: Shared walls with neighbors, HOA rules can be strict.

Yield: 5-7% per annum.

Who's it for: Mid-level investors looking for balance.

Multi-family Properties

Duplexes (2 apartments), triplexes (3), quadruplexes (4) or entire apartment buildings.

Main benefit: Income diversification. One apartment is empty - the rest continue to pay.

Pros: High yield of 7-12%, you can live in one part and rent out the rest, savings on management (one house - several income streams).

Cons: Requires more start-up capital (from $300,000), more complex management, more responsibility.

For whom: Experienced investors or those ready to actively manage.

Offices, shops, warehouses - for serious players with capital from $500,000.

return: 8-15% per annum, long-term contracts, tenants do the repairs themselves.

For whom: Experienced investors with a significant budget.

💡 Tip: Don't chase high returns on your first deal. It's better to start with a simple property and gain experience.

4. The best sites and resources for finding real estate

The good news is that you can search for American real estate right now, from your phone or computer. The bad news is that you can easily get lost in hundreds of thousands of ads.

04.1MLS (Multiple Listing Service) - the holy grail of American real estate

This is a closed database where realtors list 95% of all properties for sale. Updated in real time. The problem is that only licensed agents have access.

Why this is important: Properties appear on the MLS 1-3 days earlier than on public websites. In competitive markets this is critical.

How to get access: Work with a realtor. It will send you listings directly from the MLS.

Zillow is your first friend

The most popular site for searching for real estate. Comfortable, beautiful, with tons of features.

What it can do:

• Shows 135+ million properties
• Estimates the value of a home (Zestimate) - useful, but not 100% accurate
• Shows price history - you can see how long the property has been on sale and whether there have been reductions
• Mortgage calculator built in
• You can watch schools, crime, district maps

Disadvantage: Sometimes contains outdated data or already sold properties.

Realtor.com - official source

Gets data directly from MLS faster than others. A cleaner database without junk ads.

For whom: Serious buyers who value relevance.

Redfin - Innovative Hybrid

Combines a platform and a brokerage company. If you buy through them, you will receive a cashback portion of the commission.

Platform comparison:

04.2Real Estate Auctions

Auction.com, Hubzu - real estate is sold here with a 10-30% discount: foreclosures (repossessed by banks), short sales.

But be careful: Sold "as is", often without opportunity for inspection. Experience and willingness to repair is required.

04.3Working with a realtor is mandatory for foreigners

Yes, you can search on your own. But for a foreign investor, a realtor is not an expense, but an investment.

What a good agent will give you:

• Access to the entire MLS database in real time
• Knowledge of the local market (which areas are growing, where the best schools are)
• Negotiation (in the USA this is an art)
• Coordination of all specialists (inspectors, appraisers, lawyers)
• Help with documents

How much does it cost: Usually nothing! The commission (3% of the price) is paid by the seller. You get professional help for free.

How to find: Look for agents with experience working with foreign clients. There are Russian-speaking realtors in large cities.

Next step: Already found an interesting property? Let's figure out how to buy it correctly.

5. Step-by-step scheme for purchasing real estate in the USA

The purchasing process in the US is highly regulated and predictable. No “surprises” or unexpected demands. Here's how to buy a house in America in 6 steps.

Step 1: Mortgage Pre-Approval (if using a loan)

Even if you plan to pay cash, this step can be helpful in understanding your options.

What is pre-approval: This is a letter from the bank confirming that they are ready to give you a loan for a certain amount. Not an obligation to take out a mortgage, but a powerful tool in negotiations.

Why do you need:

• Sellers take you seriously (shows you're not a "tourist")
• Do you understand your real budget?
• Your offer becomes competitive

Time frame: 2−5 business days.

Step 2: Finding and Selecting an property (2−8 weeks)

You already know the search sites. Now - the selection criteria.

What to look for:

Location, location, location is a cliché, but it's true. Check:

• School ratings (GreatSchools.org) - even if you don't have children, this affects the cost
• Crime Rate (CrimeReports.com)
• Development plans for the area (new metro, shopping centers increasing costs)

The numbers should add up: Use a calculator: rent minus all expenses = your net income. If the number is negative, it is speculation on price growth, not an investment.

"1% Rule": Monthly rent must be at least 1% of the purchase price. House for $200,000 → rent minimum $2,000/month.

Step 3: Making an offer - Offer (1−3 days)

Found your dream property? It's time to propose. In the USA, this is an official document - the Purchase Agreement.

What your Offer includes:

• Price - you can offer a lower asking price, especially if the house has been on the market for a long time
• Earnest Money Deposit - deposit 1−3% (shows the seriousness of intentions, returned if the deal falls through under the terms of the contract)
• Contingency - conditions under which you can cancel without losing your deposit: inspection results, bank assessment, obtaining financing
• Closing time - usually 30−45 days

Real life example: Dmitry found a house in Austin for $350,000. He offered $340,000 with an inspection fee. The seller made a counter-offer of $345,000 - Dmitry agreed. Deal!

In a competitive situation: There may be 5-10 offers. The winner is not always the highest price, but the cleanest conditions (fewer contingents, quick closing, large deposit).

Step 4: Inspection and Assessment (1-2 weeks)

Now the due diligence begins - a thorough check.

Home Inspection:

A professional inspector comes in and checks EVERYTHING: roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, even pest inspection (termites and other pests).

Cost: $300-600 (you pay).

What's next: You receive a 20-30 page report with all the defects. You can:

• Ask the seller to fix critical problems
• Request price reduction
• Refuse the deal and return the deposit

Appraisal (bank assessment):

If you use a mortgage, the bank orders an independent assessment. They are lending against the home, so they want to make sure it's worth the money.

Cost: $400-800 (you pay even if the deal doesn't go through).

Risk: If the appraisal is lower than the purchase price, the bank will only lend for the appraised amount. You will have to pay the difference or negotiate with the seller.

Step 5: Escrow period (2−4 weeks)

Escrow is a neutral third party (escrow company or title company) that holds the money and documents until all the terms of the transaction are met.

What's happening:

• Your earnest money deposit is in a secure account
• Title company checks the history of real estate ownership (for hidden liens, legal disputes, errors in documents)
• Title insurance is issued - insurance that will protect you from hidden problems with title
• Bank finalizes mortgage (if used)
• You take out homeowner’s insurance (real estate insurance) - mandatory

Your task: Provide all requested documents on time.

Step 6: Closing the deal - Closing Day!

The final meeting, where all the documents are signed and the keys are handed over.

3 days before closing: Receive Closing Disclosure - a detailed list of all expenses (every dollar). Check carefully!

On the day of closing:

• Sign 50-100 pages of documents (even more if you have a mortgage)
• Transfer the remaining amount to an escrow account
• You receive a deed (ownership document)
• GET THE KEYS!

For foreigners: You can be present remotely through a notary in your country or give power of attorney to your realtor/lawyer.

True story: Olga from Almaty bought a townhouse in Las Vegas without ever flying to the USA. I did everything remotely through a realtor, lawyer and remote notary. From offer to keys - 42 days.

6. Financing the purchase: mortgage for foreigners

The most common question: “Will they give me a mortgage without a green card?” Answer: yes, but with conditions.

Most foreigners buy with cash - it's easier and faster. But US mortgages are affordable for foreigners and can be a profitable strategy.

Why a mortgage can be profitable:

Imagine: Instead of $300,000 in cash, you invest $150,000 (50% down payment) and borrow $150,000 at 6% interest. The rental income covers the mortgage payment. You have freed up $150,000 to purchase a second property. Two properties increase in price instead of one - this is the effect of financial leverage.

Real conditions for foreigners:

• Down payment: 30-50% (for US citizens - 20%)
• Interest rate: 0.5-1.5% higher than standard (currently about 6.5-8%)
• Requirements: Confirmation of income, assets, good credit rating (you can open an American credit history specifically)

Which banks work with foreigners:

• Bank of America (if there is a bank relationship)
• HSBC (international bank)
• Some regional banks and credit unions
• Specialized lenders for foreign nationals

Alternative financing:

• Hard money loans - quick short-term loans at 8-12% per annum, for experienced investors
• Seller financing - the seller himself acts as a lender, rarely but it happens
• Partnership with an American investor

7. Additional costs and hidden costs

The purchase price is just the beginning. Many new investors make one critical mistake: they forget to budget for additional expenses. And now the “profitable” investment turns into a loss-making one.

Let's take an honest look at how much it REALLY costs to buy and own real estate in the USA.

Closing Costs

Closing costs is a set of costs when closing a deal. Usually 2-5% of the property value.

Example: if you buy a house for $300,000, prepare $6,000-15,000 for closing costs.

What it consists of:

• Loan origination fee (if mortgage): 0.5-1% of the loan amount (~$1,500)
• Appraisal (estimate): $400-800
• Home inspection : $300-600
• Title Insurance (MANDATORY): $1,000-$3,000 is your protection against hidden title issues
• Title search : $300-500
• Escrow fees : $500-2,000
• Recording fees (registration): $100-300
• Attorney fees (in states where required): $500-2,000

Realtor commission: Usually 5-6% of the price, but the SELLER PAYS! You don't have to pay for your buyer's agent - this is a unique feature of the American market.

Purchase taxes: Some states have a transfer tax of 0.1-2% (for example, significant in New York, not significant in Texas and Florida).

Insurance: Homeowner's insurance must be paid a year in advance - $800-3,000 depending on location. In Florida and other hurricane zones it could be $2,000-5,000.

Annual Ownership Costs - This is where the biggest mistake lies!

Property Tax is your main annual expense:

Varies from 0.3% to 2.5% of assessed value depending on state.

Examples:

• Texas: ~1.8% → $300,000 home = $5,400/year or $450/month
• Florida: ~0.9% → $2,700/year or $225/month
• California: ~0.75% → $2,250/year
• New Jersey: ~2.4% → $7,200/year (one of the highest)

This is a required payment, regardless of whether the property is rented or not!

Insurance: $800-3,000/year, renewed annually.

HOA fees (for condos and townhomes): $200-600 per month = $2,400-7,200/year. Covers maintenance of common areas, sometimes water, garbage removal.

Maintenance and Repairs: Plan on 1-2% of property value annually. For a $300,000 home, that's $3,000-6,000/year.

Utilities (if you pay): $150-400/month = $1,800-4,800/year.

Property management (management company): 8-12% of rental income. If you rent for $2,000/month, you pay $160-240/month.

Real Score: $300,000 Home in Texas

One-time purchase:

• Closing costs: ~$9,000
• Starting total: $309,000

Annual Costs:

• Property tax: $5,400
• Insurance: $1,500
• Maintenance: $4,000
• Property management (10%): $2,400 (based on $2,000/month rent)
• Total: $13,300/year or $1,108/month

• Rental Income: $2,000/month = $24,000/year
• Expenses: $13,300/year
• Net Income: $10,700/year or $892/month
• Real return on $309,000 invested = 3.46%

Plus potential price growth of 3-5% per year.

Taxation for foreign owners

Taxes on rental income:

Foreigners have two options:

1. Simple (but Expensive): 30% of gross income, excluding expenses

2. Correct: Declare as US resident and pay 15-25% of NET income after deducting all expenses

Deductible: property tax, insurance, HOA, repairs, property management, mortgage interest, depreciation (depreciation - ~3.6% of the cost of the building annually).

Example: Gross income $24,000, expenses $13,300, depreciation $8,000. Taxable income = $2,700. Tax ~$600 instead of $7,200!

FIRPTA on sale: Automatically withholds 15% of the transaction value (not profit!). Later you submit a tax return and return the excess.

Tip: Do a complete financial calculation in Excel before purchasing. Consider ALL expenses. If the numbers don't add up, look for another property.

7. Additional costs and hidden costs

Congratulations - you are the owner of American real estate! Now the main question is: how to manage it, being thousands of kilometers away, and get a stable income?

Three rental options

Long-term rental (1+ year):

• Stable cash flow
• Less hassle
• Tenants are more responsible
• Yield: 4-6% per annum

Ideal for: Investors who want passive income and peace of mind.

Medium-term rental (1-6 months):

• Balance income and stability
• Popular among business travelers, students, relocators
• Yield: 5-8% per annum

Short-term rentals (Airbnb, VRBO):

• Maximum income (30-50% higher than long-term)
• Lots of work or high management costs
• Seasonality Risk
• Possible restrictions from HOA or city
• Yield: 7-12% per annum in tourist areas

Real life example: Irina bought a condo in Miami for $220,000. On a long-term lease I would get $1,800/month. Through Airbnb, he earns $3,200/month on average, but pays property management 15% ($480) instead of 10%.

07.1Property Management is your must-have

For a foreign owner, a management company is not a luxury, but a necessity. You simply physically cannot manage real estate from overseas.

What a property manager does:

• Finding Tenants: Posts ads, conducts showings, checks credit history and references (screening)
• Rent Collection: Ensures timely payments, deals with late payments
• Maintenance: Coordinates all repairs, finds contractors, supervises work
• Emergency Questions: Available 24/7 for Tenants
• Inspections: Regularly checks the condition of the property
• Financial Reports: Sends monthly income and expense reports
• Legal Compliance: Follows landlord-tenant law requirements

Cost:

• Long-term rental: 8-10% of monthly rent
• Short-term rental: 15-25% of monthly rent
• Accommodation of a new tenant: usually half or full monthly rent (one-time fee)

How to choose:

• Check reviews on Google and Yelp
• Ask how many facilities they manage
• Find out how quickly they respond to requests
• Ask for examples of financial statements
• Ask about their network of contractors

Taxes on rental income - briefly again

You must report income annually (Form 1040NR). We recommend:

• Hire a CPA (certified public accountant) familiar with foreign investors
• Select the option of taxation by net income (net income)
• Use all possible deductions, especially depreciation

Depreciation is your best friend. You can deduct 3.636% of the cost of the building (not land) annually for 27.5 years. This is a “paper” expense that reduces your taxable income but does not require real money.

Plan an emergency fund

Rule: Keep 6-12 months of real estate expenses in reserve.

Why:

• Vacancy (empty between tenants) - plan for 1-2 months per year
• Unexpected repairs (roof, air conditioning, water heater)
• Problem tenants (may not pay for months until they are evicted)

Example: House with expenses $1,100/month → reserve $6,600-$13,200.

Tip: The first 3-6 months after purchase will be the most active. Then everything falls into a routine, and you simply receive monthly reports and money in your account.

9. Legal aspects and risks

The American property rights system is one of the best in the world. But it is necessary to know the legal aspects and possible risks.

09.1Title Insurance is your shield

What it is: Insurance that protects against hidden title issues that were not known about at the time of purchase.

What it protects against:

• Undisclosed liens from previous owners
• Errors in documents or public records
• Forgery of signatures in the chain of ownership
• Unknown heirs claiming rights
• Land surveying errors

Real case: John bought a house, 2 years later the heir of the previous owner appeared with claims. Title insurance covered all legal expenses and reimbursed the cost.

Cost: $1,000-$3,000 one time. Valid as long as you own the property.

Two types:

1. Owner's title insurance - protects you (paid upon purchase)

2. Lender's title insurance - protects the bank (mandatory for a mortgage)

Never give up owner's title insurance!

02.1Legal Review

In some states (New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts), the participation of a real estate attorney is mandatory. In others it is optional, but for a foreigner it is highly recommended.

What a lawyer does:

• Reviews all contracts before signing
• Reveals hidden risks
• Represents your interests at the closing
• Helps with tax planning (often in conjunction with a CPA)

Cost: $500-2,000 depending on state and complexity of transaction. This is the best money you will spend.

Possible risks and how to minimize them

Hidden property defects:

• Protection: Thorough home inspection + seller disclosure requirement (the seller is required to disclose known problems)
• Additional: Specialized Inspections (Termites, Radon, Mold, Foundation)

Problem Tenants:

• Protection: Thorough screening via property manager
• Backup: Landlord insurance with loss of rent coverage
• Knowledge: Landlord-tenant law of your state (rights and responsibilities of both parties)

Real Estate Market Fluctuations:

• Protection: Long-term ownership (10+ years), diversification by location
• Strategy: Buy cash-flowing properties that pay off in rent regardless of price increases

Natural disasters:

• Hurricanes (Florida, Gulf Coast): Windstorm insurance required
• Floods (coastal zones): Flood insurance if in flood zone
• Earthquakes (California): Earthquake insurance
• Check: FEMA flood maps before purchasing

Legislative changes:

• Taxes: May increase (especially property tax)
• Regulations: Cities May Restrict Short-Term Rentals
• Protection: Working with tax advisor for optimization

Protection via LLC

Many experienced investors form an LLC (Limited Liability Company) to own real estate.

Benefits:

• Limitation of Liability: Personal Assets Protected from Estate Claims
• Estate planning: Simplifies the transfer of assets to heirs, avoiding probate
• Tax Flexibility: Structuring Options

Cons:

• Additional costs to create and maintain
• It's harder to get a mortgage on an LLC
• Requires proper documentation

For the first deal: Usually not necessary. For a portfolio of 2+ properties, consider it seriously.

Consultation: Each situation is unique. Find professionals (attorney, CPA, insurance agent) who specialize in working with foreign investors.

10. Conclusion and practical advice

You've reached the end of this guide, which means you're serious about investing in American real estate. Great! Now the main thing is not to make typical beginner mistakes and start correctly.

Practical advice from the experts

1. Start with education, not with purchase

Spend 1-3 months studying the market:

• Select 2-3 target cities
• Study price dynamics over 3-5 years
• Look at 50-100 listings to get an idea of what it costs
• Read local news - where the city is heading, what development plans
• Watch YouTube videos from local realtors

Take your time! It’s better to spend 3 months preparing than to buy the wrong thing and regret it for years.

2. Assemble a team of professionals

Your dream team:

• Realtor with experience working with foreign investors (preferably Russian speaking)
• Real estate attorney in target state
• CPA/Tax advisor with knowledge of international taxation
• Property manager with good reviews
• Insurance agent for all types of insurance
• Credit broker (if you are planning a mortgage)

Don't try to do everything yourself! Their services will pay for themselves many times over.

3. Follow the numbers, not the emotions

It's easy to fall in love with a home. But this is an investment, not personal housing.

Your checklist:

• Rental yield of at least 5-6% (after all expenses)
• Passes the "1% test" (rent ≥ 1% of value)
• Positive cash flow from the first month
• Location with a growing population and economy
• Schools rated at least 6/10
• Low crime rate

If at least one point is not met, look further.

4. Choose the right markets

Top states for foreign investors:

Florida - no state income tax, tourism, population growth, great for short-term rentals

• Texas - strong economy, affordable prices, tech boom in Austin
• Arizona - fast growth, affordable prices, good climate
• Georgia (Atlanta) - business center of the south, strong rental market
• North Carolina - growing cities (Raleigh, Charlotte), balance between price and quality

Avoid (for beginners):

• New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles - too expensive, low return
• Declining cities (Detroit, Cleveland) - risks exceed potential
• Hyper-competitive markets - overpay

Common mistakes - learn from others

04.1Mistake #1: Underestimating Total Cost of Ownership

Many people consider only the mortgage and forget about property tax, insurance, HOA, maintenance. The real cost is 30-50% higher than it seems.

Solution: Do a detailed Excel calculation BEFORE purchasing.

Mistake #2: Buying without a personal visit

The photos are deceiving. The neighborhood may be terrible and the house may require $50k in repairs.

Solution: Minimum virtual tour + your realtor physically inspects. It’s better to fly there yourself.

Mistake #3: Ignoring location

"Cheap" real estate is often cheap for a reason - bad area, declining area, high crime rate.

Solution: Location is more important than price. Better to be more expensive in a good place than cheap in a bad place.

Mistake #4: Lack of tax planning

Foreigners pay FIRPTA, rental taxes, estate tax - without planning you will overpay thousands.

Solution: CPA with knowledge of international taxation BEFORE the purchase, not after.

Mistake #5: Saving on property management

“I will govern from Russia myself” - that doesn’t work. You will lose more on problems.

Solution: Include 10% for management in your calculations right away.
