US and Indian tax, RBI, and LRS rules change. Consult a US tax attorney and a SEBI-registered financial adviser before decisions.
The best real estate agent for an Indian buyer starts by asking one question: “Are you on a work visa in the US, or are you buying from India?” The answer determines everything: the mortgage path, the money transfer approach, the FIRPTA situation at eventual sale, and the community knowledge needed. These are not interchangeable buyer profiles. The specialist who understands both can serve either. The generalist who claims “international buyer experience” serves neither well.

H-1B Buyer Specialist Competencies
(1) H-1B mortgage lender relationships: the specialist has introduced H-1B buyers to lenders who have specifically closed H-1B borrower transactions. Can name the lender and the program. (2) The I-140 conversation: the specialist asks about I-140 approval status before advising on the purchase. This affects the risk calculation and the lender’s comfort level. (3) Silicon Valley / tech market knowledge: most H-1B buyers are in tech corridors. The specialist knows the Bay Area, Seattle, Austin, New Jersey, and Atlanta tech markets where Indian tech professionals concentrate. (4) The primary residence exclusion: when the H-1B buyer eventually sells, the specialist flags the 2-year primary residence requirement that may exclude $250,000+ in gains from FIRPTA.
NRI Investor Specialist Competencies
(1) DSCR lender access for NRIs: has introduced India-based NRI investors to DSCR lenders before. Can name the lender and describe the rental income qualification process. (2) LRS transfer timeline awareness: understands that the LRS $250,000 limit and 20% TCS affect the closing timeline. Builds the transfer process into the purchase timeline from the start. (3) Remote transaction capability: NRI investors typically cannot be present for showings or closing. The specialist has a documented remote process including power of attorney coordination and international wire to US escrow. (4) Florida/Texas investment property knowledge: NRI investors primarily target Florida and Texas income properties. The specialist knows which markets offer the right DSCR coverage ratios for NRI investor qualification.

Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO Own Luxury Homes®
"Every Indian buyer I work with gets one question first: “H-1B in the US or NRI investing from India?” The H-1B buyer needs a domestic mortgage specialist who understands the visa situation. The NRI needs a lender who has processed ITR returns and coordinated with LRS timelines. Same nationality, completely different specialist profile. I match accordingly."
