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 highly recommend this great website, full of excellent information for CANADIANS IN USA
ABOUT THOSE SEMINARS.....
Many of our Canadian buyers tell us that they have attended one of the many property seminars that are now abundant in Canada, where Florida investment properties are being heavily promoted. Most of these seminars are hosted by people who represent a builder/developer of a handful of specific developments. When you come to Orlando to view properties through them, they will only be able to show you the very limited selection of properties which they represent. The builder/developers they represent are the sellers, so when you buy through them, they cannot represent your best interests as a buyer. If they are giving you a free flight or another incentive, there is often additional pressure to buy. When you work with Dolby Properties as your Realtor, we are able to show you all properties that are for sale in our area (and there are literally thousands of choices), without any pressure and without any bias. We also fully represent your best interests at all times and only YOUR interests, not those of the seller. So, why spend precious time coming to Orlando only to see a limited selection of properties, when you can hire Dolby Properties to represent you from day one to help you find exactly the right match for you from such a vast choice of available properties? CHECK OUT WHAT SOME OF OUR CANADIAN BUYERS SAID ABOUT US FINANCING IS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD FOR CANADIANS.... We have a great relationship with both RBC Bank (now PNC) and TD Bank, both of which are very familiar to Canadians, so together we make a great team to get you well on your way to owning a piece of Central Florida! Unfortunately, we are still actually waiting for PNC to get set up with their Canadian loan program since their takeover of RBC, but we do work very closely with TD Bank. PLEASE NOTE - Most banks currently do not offer loans for properties that are to be considered pure investment properties - only residences, second homes and vacation homes. Also, in order to secure financing as a Canadian, you must currently hold Canadian citizenship, not just Canadian residence, so please check with your bank for current terms and conditions. MONEY TRANSFER. . . . . While we have a great relationship with RBC Bank (now PNC) and TD Bank, the banks 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 that one property as your permanent residence to get the property tax exemption. Regardless of how many properties you own in any part of the world, you can only have one official, legal, permanent residence. Your official residence is normally considered to be where you spend at least 183 days of each year, where you declare yourself a permanent resident, where the government recognizes you as legally resident and where you file tax returns on your worldwide income.
