🇻🇪 Florida Mortgages for Venezuela Buyers

Home Financial Group has helped Venezuela nationals purchase Florida real estate since 2002. Customized mortgage solutions for international buyers from Venezuela.

Can a Venezuela Citizen Get a Mortgage in Florida?

Yes. Venezuela nationals can purchase real estate in Florida through specialized foreign national mortgage programs offered by Home Financial Group (NMLS #305389). No US credit history or Social Security number is required. We have helped international buyers from Venezuela secure financing for Florida properties since 2002.

Buyer Profile

Venezuelan buyers form one of the largest Latin American communities in South Florida, concentrated in Doral, Weston, and Miami. Many have established long-term residency through TPS, asylum, or green card applications and are transitioning from renters to homeowners. Buyers often have ITINs and use bank statement income verification.

Documentation Requirements for Venezuela Buyers

Preparing the right documentation is essential for a smooth mortgage process. Here is what Venezuela buyers typically need:

Venezuelan buyers should prepare their cedula de identidad, valid passport (even if expired, many lenders accept it for Venezuelan nationals given known renewal difficulties), ITIN letter from the IRS, and US bank statements. For income verification, US-source income with bank statements for 12-24 months is ideal. TPS Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and I-94 arrival records are commonly requested.

Tax Considerations for Venezuela Buyers

Venezuelan buyers with TPS or pending asylum may qualify as US tax residents, potentially avoiding FIRPTA withholding on future sales. Buyers with ITINs file US tax returns using Form 1040 or 1040-NR. Venezuela has no tax treaty with the US. Currency exchange restrictions in Venezuela mean most buyers use funds already in the US or transferred through legitimate channels.

Common Visa Types for Venezuela Buyers

TPS

Asylum
