Yes, Israelis are allowed to invest in real estate in New York without needing U.S. citizenship or residency. Many investors from Israel purchase residential or commercial properties as long-term investments or for personal use.
While it's not legally required, hiring a real estate attorney is highly recommended in New York. The attorney will review contracts, perform due diligence, and ensure a smooth closing process, especially important for foreign buyers.
An attorney handles contract negotiation, title searches, due diligence, coordination with banks and title companies, and represents your interests throughout the transaction. They are a crucial part of the process in New York City real estate.
In NYC, the legal process is heavily attorney-driven, and contracts become binding earlier in the process. There are also different taxes, disclosure norms, and title insurance requirements compared to Israel.
Common mistakes include underestimating closing costs, not working with a local attorney, ignoring tax implications, or buying without conducting proper due diligence. It's essential to work with professionals familiar with both Israeli and U.S. real estate systems.
Yes, you can purchase property remotely with the help of a local attorney and other real estate professionals. Power of attorney and secure digital communication tools make it possible to complete the process without being physically present.
Investors can choose from residential apartments, condominiums, co-ops, multi-family homes, commercial spaces, and even mixed-use buildings. The choice depends on your budget, investment goals, and risk tolerance.
