Financing your Property

One of the benefits of buying in the US is the relatively straightforward process of setting up finance for overseas investors.

The maximum loan for UK borrowers buying a home in Florida is usually around 80% requiring a 20% deposit. Please note that it is possible to obtain higher than 80%, however it is very difficult and banks generally tend to aggressively raise interest rates. The 80% mortgage is paid back in the following way:

5 year ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage), fixed for 5 years. The mortgage then goes on to a 2/6 Cap. This means that the mortgage is on the variable rate but cannot increase by more than 2% per year and by a maximum of 6% throughout the life of the mortgage

Mortgages in Florida are usually arranged over 30 years, regardless of age, and there is no redemption charge for early payoff. This means that anyone wishing to take a shorter term can simply arrange the mortgage over 30 years but pay it off earlier.

Attractions:
Florida is host to countless attractions such as the infamous Disney World, Sea World, Disney Animal Kingdom, Kennedy Space Center, water-parks, Disney MGM Studios, as well as numerous beautiful beaches, golf courses, water sports-centres and an array of history and culture.
