Owners of US real estate investments can enjoy many benefits. These advantages vary depending on individual circumstances, citizenship, property type, and location. Some of the main benefits for foreign owners of US real estate investments include:
Diversification of Investment Portfolio: Investing in US real estate allows global investors to diversify their investment portfolios, reducing their exposure to risks associated with a single asset class or country. Adding US real estate assets to an investment portfolio makes that portfolio stronger and more stable. IREC works with global buyers to educate and advise the best strategy for investment in US real estate.
Rental Income: Global investors in US real estate can generate rental income from their US properties, providing a steady stream of US-Dollar denominated cash flow, which can be attractive for investors seeking income and savings outside their home countries.
Potential for Capital Appreciation: Most attractive metropolitan and vacation / second home areas in the US have experienced long-term capital appreciation, providing the opportunity for global investors to profit from the increase in property values over time. IREC helps global buyers locate the best real estate investments for their goals, at no cost to the client.
Foreign Exchange Hedge: Investing in US real estate can serve as a hedge against currency fluctuation or devaluation in the investor's home country, as US real estate assets typically appreciate in value and are denominated in US dollars.
Specialty Financing Leverage: Global investors in US real estate can secure specialty financing for real estate investments in the US, which can leverage their investments and potentially increase their returns. IREC specializes in helping global buyers locate financing to help them achieve their goals, at no cost to the client.
Access to High-Quality Properties: The US offers a stable and transparent real estate market with a wide range of real estate investment opportunities. This diversity allows global investors to choose the right properties that align with their investment goals. IREC advises and helps global buyers find just the right properties for their portfolios.
Tax Benefits: The US tax code offers several tax benefits for real estate investors, including deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and depreciation. Additionally, some investors may benefit from tax treaties between their home countries and the US.
It's important for foreign investors to be aware of the tax implications, legal requirements, and property management considerations associated with owning US real estate, as these can vary depending on factors such as property type, location, and the investor's home country.
