The newest studies in
the commercial real estate market show that international investors discovered
the US market as a good investment option and their number is still growing. Over
40 % of the 13 Billion sold commercial real estate properties were sold in the second half of 2014 to
Asian investors. This number puts them on the top of the international
investors list.
Second on the
international investors list for commercial properties are the European
investors with more than 22 %. Closely followed on the third and fourth place by Latin
America and the Middle East with 21 % and 20 %.
These numbers are
based on nationwide data and there are certain hotspots for these investors.
The Asian investors are concentrating their efforts in the last few months in
the Mid-West while Florida traditionally is more in the focus of Latin America
investors.
The investors are
often interested in flexible open office space where the personal work space can
be reduced for the benefit of bigger common room to intensify communication.

The investment in real estate properties is
always a good idea. Especially when you buy your property in a moderate prices
market and in a favorable location. To do so you have to have enough money to
pay for it. This requirement apply for domestic buyers as well as foreign
national buyers. However, there is a difference to consider between the two
buyer segments and this is important to know.
When a domestic buyer buys a property it is much
easier to verify his/her financial resources based on the paystubs, background
checks and tax returns, that have been filed with the tax authorities. But when
it comes to foreign buyers there is not such an option. Foreign national not
always work in the US and earn no income that has to be filed as income. When
they have an account in a US-bank and use a US credit card they may have a credit
history but the background checks are hardly possible.
To get to best possible information about a
potential foreign buyer it is common in the real estate business that the
foreign buyers have to wire their purchase funds to an American bank account
timely enough before the transaction closing and every amount above $10,000
will be reported to government authorities. These requirements are a precaution
against possible money laundry activities and they are standards in many
countries worldwide not only in United States.
Therefore foreign buyers should remember that
the times with a briefcase full of cash are over and no serious professional and no serious
business will accept such a payment method.
