Real Hodge Group specializes in guiding foreign nationals through the unique considerations of purchasing U.S. real estate — from financing and tax structure to title vesting and closing procedures. We serve buyers from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Canada, Europe, and beyond.
What International Buyers Need to Know
Purchasing U.S. real estate as a foreign national involves financing options and legal considerations that differ from domestic transactions. Understanding these upfront protects your investment and avoids costly surprises.
Foreign National Mortgages
Available without a U.S. Social Security number. Typically require 25–40% down payment and proof of international income.
EB-5 Investor Visa
Qualified investors committing $800K+ to a USCIS-approved project may be eligible for permanent U.S. residency. We can connect you with EB-5 specialists.
FIRPTA & Title Vesting
We connect you with U.S. tax attorneys who specialize in FIRPTA withholding, ITIN requirements, and optimal ownership structures for foreign buyers.
