Can a foreign investor buy property in the U.S.?

[Danay Ramirez]

Yes, foreigners can invest in U.S. real estate. There are no citizenship requirements for the ownership of U.S. real estate, and investors do not need a visa in order to purchase U.S. property. Foreign investors can buy real estate property in the U.S. under their names or through various entities such as a trust, a corporation, or an LLC. However, foreign investors must pay attention to the international tax laws that impact U.S. investments. By familiarizing yourself with these real estate tax laws, you will be able to minimize your tax exposure.
