Buying a home in the USA offers advantages in the long or short term. For this reason, buying a house in the USA is an important agenda for both investors and those living in the USA.

By getting help from reliable and expert real estate agents and having the right and necessary information, you can both facilitate and accelerate your process of buying a house in the USA.

Requirements for Foreigners to Buy a Home in the USA
Buying a house in America, one of the most popular countries in the world, is not as difficult as you think. There is no obligation to have a residence permit or live in the USA to buy a house in the USA.

Even if you do not live in the USA, you can become a homeowner by taking a mortgage loan. Buying a house in the USA is a great decision for investment purposes due to the high profits of the dollar-denominated rent and also for living in a country with a high standard of living like America.

Although house prices vary according to the states, it is possible to buy a house in the USA even at the average house prices you can buy in Turkey. Credit institutions and banks provide mortgages (home loans) up to 50% of the sale price of the house to their non-American customers.

What Should You Consider When Buying a House in America?
The process of buying a house in America is progressing just like in Turkey.

First, start researching the houses in your desired state that best fits your budget and home criteria. Make sure the sites you look at are reliable. The most known and trusted real estate sites in the USA

• Zillow, 
• Trulia, 
• Apartments.com
• Realtor.com

Be careful not to give money except for small deposits without signing any contract.

If you want to complete your process of buying a house in the USA in the easiest and fastest way, the most ideal solution would be to make an appointment with real estate agents for the best options among the houses you find on the internet, days before your arrival in the country.

One of your best advantages at this point is that there is no real estate agent commission when the process is completed. In the USA, the person selling the house pays the real estate agent commission, unless otherwise stated.

The state in which you live may not always be easy to reach. That's why you need to look for houses close to your workplace and school. You should definitely review the state of the state where the houses you are looking at are located and the situation of that area.

The area where a low-priced home is located may not always be safe. Especially if you have not lived in America before, you should research the region of the house you are considering buying in detail.

It is a good idea to see the house you decide to buy and to look at all its features. Sometimes the photos you see on the internet and the visible features may not be the same. In order to avoid such mishaps, you should definitely see the house before making the sale.
