Invest in Florida rental property from Ireland.
Irish buyers have long looked to the United States, and Florida is where the rental math is friendliest. English-speaking, EU-based, and a treaty position that is unusually favourable.
Why Irish buyers look at Florida.
New residents yearly
Florida has ranked as the top state for domestic migration for three consecutive years, adding more than 300,000 new residents a year. Every one of them needs somewhere to live, and most rent before they buy.
No state income tax
Florida charges no state income tax on rental income. Over a multi-year hold, that difference compounds against states with higher taxes, which is a large part of why people move to Florida in the first place.
The price range that works best
Florida still has a deep stock of single and multi-family properties between $150,000 and $300,000, where the rent-to-price ratios make sense, and where a first property does not demand a fortune.
What is different when you buy from Ireland.
These are the points that come up in every conversation with Irish owners. We flag them early so nothing surprises you later, and we work alongside your accountant on the detail.
Withholding when you sell
When a foreign owner sells a property, a portion of the sale price is generally withheld for the IRS and credited against what is actually owed. It affects your cash at closing, so plan for it early.
Income and estate treaties both exist
Ireland and the United States have a long-standing income tax treaty and an estate tax treaty. That combination is rarer than people assume, and it changes the planning conversation. Confirm how it applies to you with your advisor.
Filing at home
Irish residents are taxed on worldwide income, so U.S. rental income is reportable to Revenue, with relief generally available for U.S. tax already paid. We supply the statements to support it.
Income in dollars
Rent arrives in U.S. dollars while your costs sit in euros. For some owners that is welcome diversification; decide which it is for you before you transfer.
Rentalogic is not a tax or legal advisor. The points above are the topics to raise with your own accountant, not advice on how they apply to you.
How it works from here.
Your U.S. structure
We form your LLC in Florida and, if you need one, help open a U.S. bank account. No residency or visa is required.
The property
You set the criteria. Certified partner brokers search against it and bring you options, you decide which one to buy, and we coordinate the negotiation and closing.
Rented and reporting
Tenants, rent collection, maintenance and monthly statements, with disbursements to your bank account.
Questions from Irish owners.
Entry price and yield. Florida stock between $150,000 and $300,000 supports rent-to-price ratios that Ireland rarely offers, in a much deeper market.
No. We form your U.S. LLC and assist with banking where needed, so you invest as a foreign buyer.
Monthly disbursements to the account you nominate, with a full statement each month.
