        "text": "Foreign nationals are subject to standard Florida property taxes and closing costs. Additionally, while buying, there are no specific national taxes beyond those for U.S. buyers. However, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) is critical to understand if you eventually sell the property, as it mandates a tax withholding on the sale price. Consulting with a tax professional specializing in international real estate is advisable to understand your full tax obligations.",
