For Argentine Buyers

Argentines Buying Florida Real Estate

For many Argentines, U.S. real estate is a way to protect wealth in a stable, dollar-denominated asset. Florida is a favorite. Here is how to do it, from a CIPS and Florida attorney.

Arthur Simpson — Attorney, Broker & Certified International Property Specialist (CIPS), and a member of the Real Property and International Law Sections of The Florida Bar.

A stable, dollar asset

Argentine citizens can buy Florida property with the same ownership rights as Americans — no visa or residency required. Dollar-denominated real estate is a popular hedge against local volatility.

Funds & currency transfers

Many Argentines buy cash. Moving funds internationally can involve planning around currency rules — we coordinate with your bank and advisors so the purchase proceeds smoothly.

Financing if needed

Foreign-national loans exist (no U.S. credit, ~20–30% down). Whether cash or financed, we structure the purchase correctly.

Taxes & structure

An ITIN is needed for rentals/financing; FIRPTA applies at sale; ownership structure (name, LLC, trust) carries tax effects. Talk to us →

Often via cash purchases with careful international transfer planning. We coordinate with your bank and advisors so the transaction goes smoothly.
