For families and investors from Latin America and the Caribbean, South Florida is more than a market. It is a second home, a safe harbor for capital and a gateway to the U.S. economy.

Investors from Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Bahamas and beyond are acquiring condominiums, multifamily buildings and commercial properties across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. They come for stable U.S. dollar returns, legal certainty and a region that already speaks their language.

Buying the property is only the first step. Protecting and growing that investment from thousands of miles away requires a trusted partner on the ground. That is MAGASI’s role.

The reality of owning from abroad

International owners face challenges local owners rarely think about:

• Distance. A roof leak, tenant dispute or failed inspection cannot wait for your next trip to Miami.
• Unfamiliar rules. Florida landlord-tenant law, condominium statutes and local permitting differ sharply from rules back home.
• Changing condo requirements. Since Surfside, Florida has tightened structural inspection and reserve funding rules, with real financial consequences for owners.
• Hurricane exposure. Storm preparation, insurance claims and repairs demand someone present and accountable.
• Trust and transparency. Owners need to know rent is collected, funds are safeguarded and expenses are justified.

What MAGASI does for you

MAGASI manages multifamily residential properties, condominium associations and commercial real estate across South Florida. For international investors, we are the local operating partner who protects the assets and delivers the return.

• Leasing and tenants: qualified tenants, compliant leases, timely renewals and professional handling of disputes
• Finances: rent collection, operating budgets and clear monthly reports you can access from anywhere
• Maintenance and vendors: licensed, insured and vetted vendors, competitive bids and oversight of every job
• Capital projects: planning and supervision of major work such as roof, HVAC and chiller replacements
• Association relations: representation with condo boards and tracking assessments and reserves
• Hurricane readiness: pre-storm preparation, post-storm inspections and insurance claim support

We speak your language. Our team works in English and Spanish, so owners, family members and advisors abroad get clear answers.

Navigating Florida’s rules

Compliance is where many international owners lose money without realizing it. MAGASI brings working knowledge of Florida security deposit rules (§83.49), condominium law (Chapter 718), lease structures, vendor licensing and EPA certification for HVAC work. We also coordinate with your U.S. attorney, CPA and insurance broker, and keep records organized for the tax considerations that come with foreign ownership.

Partnering at every stage

• Before you buy: we review operating budgets, benchmark expenses, validate pro formas and flag condo association risks such as reserve shortfalls or pending assessments.
• At closing: we set up accounts, utilities and insurance coordination, and onboard you into our reporting system.
• Ongoing ownership: full-service management of leasing, maintenance, finances and compliance.
• Growing your portfolio: market insight across the tri-county area and analysis of new acquisitions.

We also work alongside the professionals investors already trust, including brokers, private bankers, family offices and wealth advisors in their home countries and in Miami.
