Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase property in Doral regardless of visa status. You do not need a green card or US visa to buy real estate in Florida. However, financing options may vary — foreign national mortgage programs typically require 25-30% down payment and may have slightly higher interest rates than conventional US loans.
What are property taxes like in Doral?
Property taxes in Doral are approximately 1.8-2.2% of the assessed value annually. For a $600,000 home, expect to pay around $10,800-$13,200 per year. Foreign buyers should note that they don't qualify for the Homestead Exemption unless they are permanent residents, which means higher effective tax rates on investment properties.

Absolutely. Doral is one of the top family-friendly cities in Miami-Dade County. The city has multiple A-rated public and charter schools, including Downtown Doral Charter Elementary and Ronald W. Reagan Doral Senior High. There are over 20 parks, community centers, and youth sports leagues. The strong Latin American community also means Spanish-speaking families can transition smoothly.

Some lenders may go as low as 20% for well-qualified borrowers with strong international credit and banking relationships. Home Financial Group works with specialized lenders who understand foreign income documentation and can offer competitive rates for international buyers.
How far is Doral from the beach?
Doral is located about 15-20 miles west of Miami Beach, approximately a 25-40 minute drive depending on traffic. While it's not a beachfront community, this inland location means lower flood insurance costs and reduced hurricane risk compared to coastal areas. Many residents enjoy the best of both worlds — suburban living with beach access on weekends.
