Which is why so many foreign investors look to the U.S. for better investment opportunities.

And there are a TON of investors in FL and contining to relocate here from NY/NJ and foreign countries. 

I believe it's been driven by years of ridiculously low interest rates, a huge and prolonged commodities boom/bubble along with foreign investor speculators.  

Here is the response from our broker who assisted in the investigation:  "Dear ParticipantsPlease be advised that I have worked with Criminal Investigators and prosecutors to assist in the arrest and incarceration of Douglas Lee Carter; alias MIKE JONES; who defrauded my foreign national borrowers back in March of 2014.

Find 1-2 (or more) new equity partners (foreign and/or domestic).2.

Is it true that foreigners can only own a maximum of 49% of the investment?

@Jay Hinrichs you must think we're a foreign country the way we do real estate over this way lol

Portugal is also one of the best countries for buying a house, because it has clear and transparent tax rules and offers facilities for obtaining residence permits, as part of new legal provisions that are more attractive to foreign investors.It also has a special regime for non-habitual residents, aimed at attracting foreign investors through very favourable income tax rates.

On the conventional side, there are lenders who will lend to foreigners purchasing investment properties, but it's difficult and underwriting is more scrutinizing because of the guidelines that must be upheld.

How do you find these foreign buyers.
