Some points to consider

If you are considering buying a property in Florida, you will need a US bank account and if you are buying a new property you should be aware of the date the property will be registered in your name, because the lender will not be able to lend on the security of the property until it has been registered.

Insurance; It is advisable to buy owner's or renter's insurance. The amount covered may depend in part on how much you have invested in the property itself and also on the number of valuables that you keep at your home. Make sure you are aware of any tendencies towards flooding or other hazardous weather in the area where you have purchased or rented a home, as you will need to insure against damage from a probable risk (water damage in a flood zone, for example). Tax issues: While renters are not subject to paying property taxes, home owners are.

Property taxes; also a defining factor in the quality of local school systems in America. Property in Orlando is appreciating in value, particularly in sought-after short-term rental communities.
