U.S. Real Estate Made Simple
Interested in getting your foothold in the lucrative US real estate market? It's exciting, but also a bit like landing in a foreign airport where all the signs look familiar… until they don't.
Here are the biggest surprises that tend to trip people up:

Meet Our Founder
Vince Sarkany, Founder & CEO
Vince's real estate journey began with his move from Europe to the U.S., where he personally navigated the complexities of the American market. This firsthand experience, coupled with his background in overseeing the expansion of an international franchise, uniquely positions him to bridge global investment with lucrative U.S. opportunities.
A licensed California real estate salesperson with over 12 years of international experience, Vince is adept at transforming complex data into clear, actionable insights. Prior to founding the company, he successfully brokered multi-million-dollar acquisitions, consistently connecting international investors with high-value prospects.
Navigating U.S. Real Estate Challenges
Every market has its unique complexities. Here are the key challenges that surprise international investors:
Title & Insurance
No single land registry; every county has its own records, so title searches and title insurance are mandatory.
Escrow Process
Instead of handing money directly to the seller, a neutral escrow company controls the whole process.
Due Diligence
Inspections, disclosures, environmental checks… all on the buyer's shoulders.
The Hidden Complexities That Catch Investors Off Guard
These overlooked nuances can drastically impact your returns and even your peace of mind. Are you truly prepared for what lies beneath the surface?
1
Tax Obligations
Brace yourself for the unexpected: annual property tax bills that can feel shocking, federal and state income taxes that bite deep, and FIRPTA withholding that can seize up to 15% of your sale proceeds until tax season. It's a labyrinth of obligations.
2
Financing & Currency
Imagine navigating U.S. loan applications – it can feel like an Olympic sport with tougher requirements and less flexibility. Add to that the constant worry of exchange rate swings, which can erode your returns by 5-10% literally overnight!
3
Property Management
It's not just about collecting rent. U.S. tenant laws are a complex maze, and Homeowners Associations (HOAs) can dictate everything from your paint color to your pet policy, often with hefty, unexpected fines. Unlike consolidated European systems, you'll be juggling multiple vendors and unique local legalities.
4
Business Culture
Forget leisurely, relationship-driven negotiations. U.S. deals move at warp speed, are highly legalistic, and success hinges on precise contractual agreements. A single misstep or misunderstanding of local customs can cost you thousands and even lead to a lost deal.
