For Buyers from CANADAGREAT NEWS FOR CANADIANS INVESTING IN USAWith the US and Canadian dollars so close to par, this is a great time for Canadians to buy an investment property or second home in Florida.
Our prices have not been as low as this in many years and there are great bargains to be had. Add this to the fact that Canadians are still able to secure great financing here in Florida, your Canadian dollar can still buy a lot of property here, so why not take advantage of this great time now?
Whether your plan is to buy an investment property, or for a vacation/second home, or even for relocating to the Orlando area, contact Dolby Properties today and we'll get you started on realizing your goals. Over the past few years, we have helped many Canadians buy a property here in the Orlando area. In fact, Broker, Lesley Dolby, has both American and Canadian citizenships and she, along with our mostly British born associates, are well positioned to understand your needs. We also have a great relationship with our local RBC loan officer, so together we make a great team to get you well on your way to owning a piece of Central Florida! E-mail us at:
MONEY TRANSFER. . . . . While we have a great relationship with RBC Bank, the bank whom most of our Canadian buyers use to facilitate their property purchases here, we do also have an excellent relationship with Moneycorp. Not many Canadians realize that Moneycorp (who also has a great relationship with RBC Bank), can offer excellent rates when you are transfering your Canadian dollars to the US. Although Moneycorp is a UK based company, they do have a local office here in Orlando and they work well with Canadians. For your next purchase (or sale), you may want to consider contacting Moneycorp to check what they have to offer. Here is our direct link to MONEYCORP.
There are often rumors (especially in Canada) that non US citizens are discriminated against and have to pay higher property taxes. This is completely false and although there are indeed two levels of property taxes, the higher rate has absolutely nothing to do with your nationality, or even your State of residence. This has everything to do with whether or not you actually live in the property you own. Even those of us who live in Florida have to pay the higher (non homesteaded) rate on any property we own that is not our principal residence. You are only allowed one homesteaded property and you must live in it.
GREAT NEWS FOR FINANCING FLORIDA PROPERTIES We are thrilled to report that Dolby Properties recommends RBC Bank as our lender of choice. RBC Bank is affiliated with the Canadian arm of the Royal Bank of Canada. As one of the most trusted, well known, major financial institutions in Canada, RBC is now set to serve the needs of Canadians while in the USA.
RBC Bank has some great innovative mortgage loan programs for Canadians buying properties here in Florida. Instead of being treated as a foreign national, where the minimum down payment is now mainly 35% to 40%, now a Canadian resident can receive the same treatment as a US citizen, with low down payment loans available. Not only that, since one in three Canadians already banks with RBC, the whole loan process here is made much smoother. Check out some of the advantages:
- Communication from Contract to Closing
RBC Bank understands Canadians like no other bank in Central Florida.
Dolby Properties does not personally handle property management (we already have our hands full doing an excellent job handling sales), but we will be very happy to put you in touch with property management companies whom we believe will give you a great service. One of these companies we are happy to refer to is owned by Canadians, who bought their personal vacation home through us a few years ago. PARADISE PROPERTIES WEBSITE FOR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT Paradise Properties has a great special offer for anyone who buys their property through Dolby Properties and uses Paradise Properties as their management company - 6 month's free management fees!
