Clarify use, budget, timing, property type, location and the role rental income may play.
International buyers · Orlando vacation homes
A clear, coordinated route through communities, financing, contracts, inspections and closing—built for buyers who may be thousands of miles away.
Distance changes the process—not the standard
International buyers can purchase Florida property, but the strongest plan separates the real-estate decision from the specialist financial, tax, legal and immigration questions.
Team Donovan coordinates the Orlando property process while helping you identify the qualified professionals who should advise on financing, ownership structure, taxation, currency movement and closing requirements.
The international buying route
Clarify use, budget, timing, property type, location and the role rental income may play.
Connect lender, currency, tax, legal and title specialists where your circumstances require them.
Review rules, amenities, ownership costs, management options and live property choices.
Tour in person or by video, then use property evidence and contract terms to shape the offer.
Coordinate inspections, association documents, insurance, financing, title and specialist review.
Complete signing, funds, utilities, access, insurance and management locally or remotely.
Decisions outside the listing photos
Plan transfer timing, exchange-rate exposure, bank requirements and the documented source of funds.
Compare cash and foreign-national loan options, deposits, documentation and approval timing.
Use qualified U.S. and home-country advisers to review ownership structure, income, estate and reporting questions.
Check availability, premiums, deductibles, roof age, flood considerations and lender requirements before deadlines.
Inspect the property and review association, title, permit, rental, furnishing and management information.
Confirm signing, notarization, identity, wire and title requirements early enough to avoid last-minute problems.
Choose the ownership experience
Your remote viewing system
Video tours should connect room flow, condition, outlook, noise, surrounding homes, access and community context—not simply repeat the listing photographs.

Frequently asked questions
International buyers commonly purchase Florida real estate. Your ability to buy does not replace the need for qualified advice about financing, tax, ownership, immigration and home-country obligations.
Many steps can be handled remotely, including video tours and electronic contracts. The title and closing professionals should confirm identity, notarization, original-document and signing requirements for the specific transaction.
Some lenders offer foreign-national loan programs. Down payment, reserves, rates, documentation and eligible property types vary, so obtain property-appropriate guidance before relying on financing.
No. Zoning, community rules, licensing, minimum stays and other restrictions vary. Verify the specific property and current requirements before relying on rental use.
Follow verified instructions from the title or closing professional and your financial institutions. Wire fraud is a serious risk, so independently verify instructions using trusted contact information before sending money.
The future sale may involve FIRPTA withholding and other tax or reporting matters. Qualified advisers should review the owner's situation. Team Donovan's international seller guide explains the real-estate coordination process.
