Invest in Florida rental property from Israel.
Israeli investors have been active in U.S. real estate for decades. Florida offers rental yield rather than trophy assets, in a market deep enough to enter and exit cleanly.
Why Israeli 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 Israel.
These are the points that come up in every conversation with Israeli 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.
A long-standing income tax treaty
Israel and the United States have an income tax treaty covering how income and gains are treated between them. The estate tax position is separate and should be confirmed with your advisor before you buy.
Filing at home
Israeli residents are taxed on worldwide income, so U.S. rental income is reportable, generally with credit for U.S. tax paid. We provide the statements your accountant needs.
Income in dollars
Rent is collected in U.S. dollars against a shekel cost base, which many Israeli owners treat as part of the reason for holding the asset.
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 Israeli owners.
No. The entity, the purchase and the management all run remotely.
Most owners use a new U.S. LLC that we form, which keeps the property cleanly separated. Your advisor can confirm what suits your structure.
Monthly disbursements to the account you nominate, with a statement each month.
Investing from somewhere else.
We work the same way from every country on this list. Pick yours to see what changes and what does not.
