Buying from the USA
The US corridor produces Dholera's most methodical buyers: engineers and physicians who arrive with spreadsheets. Good: this market rewards exactly that temperament. Here is the US-specific layer over the core guide.
Making the clock work
IST runs 9.5 hours ahead of US Eastern (10.5 in winter) and 12.5 ahead of Pacific. The rhythm that works: your evening equals our morning. Live video site visits at 8 to 10 pm Eastern land in Dholera's daylight; document calls fit the same window. We schedule US files in standing weekly slots so momentum never depends on calendar Tetris.
The corridors this desk serves
Paper logistics, US edition
PoA: executed before the Indian consulate holding jurisdiction over your state (DC, New York, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta account for most), then couriered to Gujarat for adjudication: the PoA guide details the steps and the specific-not-general drafting rule. Build two to four weeks of buffer for the consular-courier-adjudication loop.
Banking: fund through your NRE/NRO channels; US banks' international wires are reliable but slower than Gulf rails, so payment milestones in your agreement should breathe accordingly. File every advice; your future repatriation paperwork will quote them.
Tax posture: US persons report worldwide assets and income within US rules while Indian property income and gains are taxed in India first, with treaty credits doing the reconciliation. This site does not do your taxes; a cross-border CA does, ideally before purchase, not after sale. The TDS guide covers the India-side mechanics you will meet at exit.
The visit question, answered honestly
Flying twice (once to see, once to close) is the gold standard and often unrealistic from the US. The workable pattern: video-first shortlisting and verification, one combined trip for physical inspection plus registration, or a fully remote close via PoA with a trusted nominee's physical inspection standing in for yours. What we counsel against is the zero-touch purchase where nobody you trust ever stood on the land; that is not a US-corridor shortcut, it is a universal mistake.
