Before you commit, the answers most international buyers wish they'd read first.
What is FIRPTA, and how much will the IRS withhold when I sell my Miami property?
FIRPTA, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, requires US buyers to withhold 15% of the gross sale price when buying real estate from a foreign person. You can reduce or eliminate this through a withholding certificate (Form 8288-B) filed before closing, based on your actual expected capital gain.
What is the Florida property tax cap, and how does Save Our Homes protect my Miami home?
Florida's Save Our Homes (SOH) amendment caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% (or CPI, whichever is lower) for homesteaded primary residences. Combined with the $50,000 Homestead Exemption, it's the single biggest tax shield for owner-occupants in Miami-Dade, but it does NOT apply to investment property or non-resident foreign buyers.
How does pre-construction escrow work in Florida (Section 718)?
Florida Statute 718 governs condominium pre-construction purchases. Deposits up to 10% must be held in an escrow account; additional deposits between 10% and 20% can be used by the developer with statutory disclosures. After 20% the developer can typically use funds for construction. All escrow disclosures must be in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.
