Is short-term rental income allowed at these properties?

Many resort residences allow short-term rentals via in-house programs. Single-family homes vary by HOA and local rules. We’ll verify permitted use, historic occupancy and program fees before you submit an offer.

Can foreigners finance a home in The Bahamas?

Yes. Local banks and select international lenders offer mortgages to non-residents subject to underwriting. Expect standard KYC, income verification, down payment and appraisal. I’ll introduce lenders familiar with cross-border buyers.

Q: What are the current residency-by-investment thresholds?

Thresholds are policy-based and may update. Generally, premium property purchases can qualify for Economic Permanent Residency with an accelerated track at higher levels. I’ll confirm the latest numbers and structure your offer accordingly.

Q: What taxes and fees should I expect?

Plan for VAT on conveyance, legal fees, title/recording fees, and any applicable stamp duty on mortgages. Annual real property tax depends on use/value; some condo-hotels include components via HOA. We’ll provide a line-item estimate.

Q: How long does closing take?

Cash transactions can close in a few weeks once due diligence is complete. Financed deals typically take longer due to underwriting. We’ll align timelines with inspection results and lender milestones.
