Real estate Refinancing OptiOns fOR investORs
It is at the moment of starting the process of buying real estate in the United States that new investors get lost. To achieve this dream, many decide to create a kind of savings in their home country before buying a property in the United States. However, what many do not know is that financing is also possible for foreigners and their options are endless. The mortgage broker, Dwight Kleine - an
16 BrazilUSA - Orlando Real Estate
American with a Brazilian soul and more than 15 years of experience - explains that among the various financing options, one that has been gaining a lot of interest for those who already own a property and want money to invest in new areas , is the option of refinancing. According to him, this has been sought out by those customers who do not want to be totally decapitalized or by those seeking better interest rates. It is worth remembering that
this process can be done for both residential and commercial real estate. “For example, last month our company closed a refinancing for a Brazilian family that owns a part of the Chase Building in downtown Orlando. When they opened the first loan, as they were foreigners and had no history, they got a very high interest rate and with more restricted conditions. But now that they have been here for a few years and have a good credit history, it has been possible to refinance at much lower interest rates, “ explains Dwight. Refinancing can be accomplished in two ways. The first option is called “Cash Out Refi”, where the client already owns a property and wishes to withdraw an amount of the amount to make new investments. Dwight points out that this refinancing option is only possible as long as the property is free and clear.. In this case, the owner of the property may withdraw up to 60% of the value of the property. With that amount in hand, many decide to invest in new properties, in visa programs like EB5, or open new business in the United States or their home country. The second option is refinancing for better terms and conditions. This is extremely advisable for real estate owners whose properties are financed in the programs of Hard Money and that in the end still do not have conditions to remove the property. In these cases, even after the prepayment penalty, they
can find a financing program where the interest rate is lower. Whatever option you may choose, it is worth remembering that the refinancing process is very similar to the regular financing process. As an applicant, you will have to present the necessary documentation required by the banks to demonstrate the financial ability to bear the costs of closing and monthly payments. It is also important to remember that required documentation for the refinancing process may vary from bank to bank.

Brazilians Stand Out in the American Labor market The average income of Brazilian workers pursuing various work projects in American cities have been published by Brazilian researchers. Studies conducted in the United States by Brazilian researchers reveal that the Brazilian community living in this country has been prominent in the labor market. The study was published in Álvaro de Castro e Lima and Alanni Barbosa de Castro’s 2017 book entitled, “Half a century of remaking America (1960-2010)”. According to the survey, Brazilians are ahead of other immigrants and even Americans, in terms of average household income due to being more qualified and therefore, earning better wages. The average income of households headed by Brazilians is of US $ 55,463 dollars, while other immigrants US $ 49,484 and Americans US $ 54,455. Women - The numbers also point to a higher income for Brazilian women living in the United States, above other female immigrants. These average values are US $ 35,295 for Brazilian women and US $ 32,572 for other female immigrants. Poverty - In relation to the socioeconomic level, the study indicates that Brazilian families and individuals are less poor than immigrants from other countries, and even Americans. The poverty level of Brazilian families in the year 2014 was 11%, 17% for other immigrants and 13% for american families. In terms of individuals, these figures are 13% for Brazilians, 18% for other immigrants, and 15% for americans. Entrepreneurs - The study also revealed that Brazilians rank fifth among small business owners in the country, with up to ten years of housing and tenth among immigrants who have resided for eleven years or

more in the United States. Most of these companies are located in the state of Florida (36%) followed by Massachusetts (11%) and New York (9%). The states of California and New Jersey with 8% each, and Georgia and Connecticut have 4% each. These states make up 80% of Brazilians who own small businesses. Planning - According to Brazilian economist and consultant, Carlo Barbieri, the work of Brazilians working in the United States is the result of good planning. This factor has been instrumental in ensuring the success of the entrepreneurs who are making their living on American soil. (Source: Site amazonasatual)
