Property in the United States
Buying in the United States does not start with the property; it starts with the structure that holds the purchase. This page gathers the three paths that come up most with Brazilian buyers — and what each one requires before signing.
What gets decided before signing
- 01
Structure and ownership
Who buys, how they buy and what happens to the asset later: individual or company, succession and tax are settled with the attorney and tax professional on the case — before the offer, not after.
- 02
Currency and remittance
Currency is part of the property's cost. How much to convert, when and through which channel moves the final number more than negotiating a thousand dollars off the price.
- 03
Financing and down payment
Foreign buyers usually face their own down payment and credit conditions. The maths changes by bank, profile and property type, and is confirmed with the credit professional on the case.
- 04
Use and management
Living there, seasonal use or renting calls for different communities, different rules and a management operation that works without the owner nearby.
- 05
Timeline
Construction, delivery, deed and the move are four different calendars. Confusing the four is the most common mistake of off-plan buyers.
Three ways to read the market
Long pieces with cited sources and dates: written to decide, not to sell.

Renting seasonally and using it on holiday: real occupancy, licences, what comes off gross revenue and the owner's calendar.

A home with a dock in Fort Lauderdale: depth, bridges, what to inspect at the dock and the real cost of owning a boat.
Read →Currency, with a local partner
Singratur is a currency exchange house based in Maringá, Brazil, in the market since 1985 — 40 years of local operation. It handles currency purchase and sale, international remittances and multi-currency prepaid cards, alongside travel services.
For anyone buying property outside Brazil that solves a concrete problem: conversion and remittance happen in the same place the decision was made, with a contact who knows the case. We do not publish rates here — rates move by the minute and the exchange house is the one who quotes them.
