        "text": "Non-U.S. citizens should first understand the financing options available to them, as foreign national loans often have different requirements than conventional U.S. mortgages. It's also crucial to define your property type preferences and desired locations within Florida, such as Miami-Dade or Broward County, to help narrow down suitable listings. Working with a local real estate professional, like Kelby Contreras, early in the process can help you navigate these initial considerations and connect you with appropriate lenders and properties.",
