Sarah,

This s very possible and you can pretty much purchase a property in the US in the same manner as a US citizen. Your information is correct about needing a larger deposit of between 30 & 40 percent.

At this time we advise many of our foreign buyers that are considering financing to explore borrowing options in your home country prior to using a US source. Many find better rates and their transaction is treated in the same manner as a cash transaction.

We are well versed in the southwest Florida market and would be happy to support and interests in this location or provide you with additional typical buyer's information.

This is a great time to be considering your investment options. We wish you the best.
