And he has made the perfect start on the pitch, scoring three goals in his opening two games.
They included a stoppage-time free-kick on his debut.
Now he is looking to improve his lifestyle off the field as he seeks out another residency in the south-east state.
He already has FOUR apartments on Miami Beach worth a reported £15million.
But he has now been seen touring some new homes that he could live in during his stint with the American outfit.
The Barcelona icon was seen with partner Antonela and one of his sons - who was wearing an Inter Miami shirt with "Messi 10" on the back.
And the house he was shown had a PUTTING GREEN on the ROOF.
Messi could be seen watching on as a man sampled the raised golf area.
According to Goal, the house is situated "in the prestigious Boca Raton region that sits an hour to the north of Miami, but only 25 minutes from DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale".
And the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner was all smiles as he got back into his car with his family after the viewing.
It has been a whirlwind two months for Messi since he chose to join Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
Confirming his decision in June, he told Diario Sport and Mundo Deportivo:
"I've taken the decision that I am going to Miami. [I decided] to leave Europe."
He then added: "It's true that I had offers from another European team but I didn't even think about it because in Europe, my idea was only to go to Barcelona.
"After winning the World Cup and not being able to go to Barca, it's time to go to MLS to live football in a different way and enjoy my day to day life more.
"Obviously with the same responsibility and desire to win, and to do things well, but with more calm."
Meanwhile, Beckham recently revealed the ecstasy he experienced after landing Messi.
He told The Athletic: "I never thought I would have the same feeling as an owner as I had when I was a player.
"When I got the phone call, I had the feeling I had when I walked out at Old Trafford or Wembley.
"I was like, ‘We’ve just beaten all competition to sign the greatest player to ever play our game’."
