Frequently Asked Questions

What is FIRPTA and how does it affect me?+
FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) is a law that requires the buyer to withhold up to 15% of the sale price when the seller is a foreign national. If you sold property in the US as a non-resident, you were most likely subject to FIRPTA withholding.
Can I recover FIRPTA withholding?+
Yes. If the actual tax you owe is less than the withholding, you can recover the difference by filing your tax return. There is also the Withholding Certificate option, which can reduce or eliminate withholding before closing.
Do I need an LLC to buy property in Florida?+
It's not required, but it is recommended for investors buying rental properties or wanting to protect personal assets. A well-structured LLC can also offer significant tax advantages.
What taxes do I pay if I rent a property in Florida?+
Rental income from US property is subject to federal taxes and may be subject to state tax (though Florida has no income tax). Short-term rentals (Airbnb, etc.) are also subject to local Sales Tax.
How do I structure my real estate investments tax-efficiently?+
It depends on your situation. Options include individual LLCs per property, a "holding" LLC with subsidiaries, or a trust. We advise on the best structure based on your investment objectives and immigration status.
