Absolutely. Anyone can purchase real estate in the United States—you don’t have to be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident (“Green Card” holder), or a visa holder to be eligible. In fact, you can buy U.S. real estate even if you’ve never stepped foot into the country.
Why Should International Investors Buy Turnkey Properties in America?
The United States’ powerful economy, robust demographic trends, and long-standing tradition of strong property rights are a boon for non-Americans eyeing accessible and profitable real estate investment opportunities.

Turnkey Rentals for International Investors
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an experienced foreign investor, we make real estate investing easy for international investors.
Our turnkey properties are carefully selected in high-growth areas with strong rental demand, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of passive income, diversification, and capital appreciation without the burden of active management.
Better yet, you own your properties outright and receive your monthly rental income directly—there’s no middleman here.
- Prime Markets
We operate in five metropolitan areas across three Southeastern states: Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. From under-the-radar cities like Chattanooga to up-and-coming spots like Birmingham, Huntsville, and Tuscaloosa, our markets are rich, vibrant, and poised for growth.
- Local Leasing Expertise
As a homegrown business, our Birmingham-based team has deep knowledge of our local markets. This enables us to lease your property out to better tenants, command higher rents on your behalf, and minimize turnover costs.
- Renovated + Ready to Go
Luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, new tin roofs, updated bathrooms, and new HVAC systems adorn every one of our properties—meaning your rental is ready for leasing the moment you purchase it.
- Simple, Hands-Off Investing
Buying property halfway across the globe can feel daunting. But when you invest in turnkey real estate, you leave the hard work to us. We’ll handle leasing, rent collection, maintenance, repairs, and even evictions for you—no need to set foot on U.S. soi!
- New homes from scratch
For non-American investors who want to invest in new construction, we also offer single-family homes built from the ground up. These new builds sport low maintenance and higher rents, and are an ideal addition to any investment portfolio.
- You Own, We Manage
When you invest in turnkey real estate, you own the brick-and-mortar property and the land it sits on outright. There’s no fund or intermediary standing between you and your real estate—it’s all yours.

Unfortunately not. Buying a home in the U.S. doesn’t automatically entitle you to any special immigration or permanent residency benefits. However, it may be possible to purchase real estate in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Speak to a U.S. immigration attorney to discuss your specific situation.
Yes, international investors owe tax on income derived from U.S. real estate. However, foreign investors are taxed at different tax brackets than U.S. persons and do not qualify for the same capital gains rates enjoyed by U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Per IRS rules, rental income from real estate owned by a foreign investor is taxable at a flat rate of 30%, unless your country of citizenship has a tax treaty with the United States or you own real estate in the United States “in connection with a U.S. trade or business”.
For further reading, see the IRS’ page on FDAP income.
