Usually  12  pages,  can  be  signed  electronically  or  scanned  &  emailed  

Note  closing  date,  inspec<on  date,  deposit  amount  and  added  clauses  

A  deposit  sent  to  the  selected  <tle  agent  –  never  send  direct  to  seller  

Use  refund/inspec<on  period  to  order  official  independent  4  point  inspec<on  

Addi<onal  docs  sent  prior  to  closing.  Note  carefully  any  waivers.  

Once  property  has  been  selected,  a  purchase  agreement  drawn  up  

Review  HUD  carefully  and  turn  docs  by  email  and  by  regular  post

Closing  Costs  

Total  costs  usually  fall  within  1  –  1.5%  of  the  purchase  price  

Made  up  of  closing  fees,  search  fees,  <tle  insurance  &  transfer  taxes  

Always  read  the  seYlement  HUD  statements  before  signing  off  

Independent  licensed  firms  who  ensure  clean  <tle  transfer  

Title  Companies  

Hold  buyers  funds  in  escrow  and  disburse  with  everything  in  place

Sample  HUD  Statement  

Page 6: Simple guide to purchase a USA rental property

First  thing  you  need  is  adequate  insurance  &  liability  coverage  (vacant  &  landlord)  

I  could  (and  probably  will)  dedicate  an  en<re  podcast  to  property  management  

U<li<es  –  get  your  property  manager  to  turn  them  on  and  put  them  in  tenants  name  as  soon  as  they  move  in.    

This  is  your  money  –  don´t  take  a  break  aAer  you´ve  bought  the  property!    

What  to  do  aAer  closing?  

Second  thing  is  a  property  manager  –  the  most  important  person  in  your  team  aAer  you  purchase.

Every  owner  of  a  USA  property  (no  maYer  where  they  live)  must  submit  tax  returns  detailing  income  and  expenditure.  Lots  of  deduc<ons  available.  Florida  has  no  state  income  tax,  but  you  s<ll  have  to  pay  the  federal  one.    

Property  taxes  (on  the  building)  can  be  paid  online.  Search  (County  Name)  tax  collector  and  set  up  an  account.  E.g.  Pasco  County  tax  collector.    

2015  property  taxes  due  published  by  October  2015  and  must  be  paid  by  March  2016  

Capital  gains  tax  generally  15-­‐20%.  May  be  higher  if  sold  within  1  year.  You  need  to  confirm  with  a  qualified  professional.    

Don´t  be  scared  about  taxes!  Just  figure  out  what  you  have  to  do.  

What  taxes  does  a  landlord  have  to  pay?  

Easiest  way  is  to  get  a  qualified  US  accountant  to  file  them  for  you  ($300  -­‐  $500  per  year)  

Income  taxes  on  rent,  property  taxes  on  dwelling,  capital  gains  on  resale
