How to get USA Investment Visa
a licensed business immigration and
corporate attorney in miami florida and
today we're going to be discussing how
you can get the investment visa to the
u.s investing in the real property at
the end of this video you'll be able to
learn how to get a free evaluation of
your case from me
something that other attorneys call a
consultation and want to charge you 300
dollars you'll get it absolutely free
let's go
okay my friends i get this question a
lot stanislav i have a million dollars i
have five hundred dollars i have seven
hundred dollars i have two million
dollars whatever the number is
it's the same desire to invest in a u.s
real estate in u.s properties and i
don't blame you guys because it's been
proven that in the past whenever you
bought the property of course it could
be a volatility it could be fluctuation
in the market and you know you could buy
and could drop immediately but with the
time it grows it gets back the rents are
on the rise right now in the states it
becomes a really lucrative
diversification of your portfolio and
just good things to have in your
investment portfolio right the united
states are property apartments the
houses the townhouses the complexes
whatever it is and of course because you
are entrepreneurial and you're a
businessman and you investor and you and
you're thinking well i'm already putting
the money in the u.s economy purchasing
the properties and the real estate i'm
already contributing so do i have any
option to maybe get investment visa
maybe working visa maybe when a green
card lord knows i can understand where
these thoughts are coming from so let's
discuss if the fact of your investing
your money in a real estate can bring
you any good in the form of some kind of
visa or maybe a green card let's discuss
that so we know that there are two main
type of investment visas to the states
and the first one is eb5 visa this is a
large investment visa where you could
invest the minimum eight hundred
thousand dollars or one million fifty
thousand dollars to the u.s economy
create 10 jobs control this business and
get a green card for your entire family
and of course we have to prove this
source of funds that your money is legal
and you paid all the taxes on it but the
question becomes if i invest one million
two hundred thousand dollars in uh
properties will that count towards my
investment well
it could
but there are a few problems problem
number one i don't see how you can
create 10 permanent jobs just investing
in the property you just buy the
property and you put the tenants in it
and you kind of get the passive
investment yes of course there is some
maintenance part of it but i don't see
how you can create 10 jobs even if you
have 10 properties right that's
trouble number one trouble number two
and i think it's even more significant
in the term of eb5 program besides the
proof of funds there's another criterion
in this program that's called that your
investment should be at risk you can
lose that investment partially or fully
if you're not successful so buying the
property which is a very liquid asset is
not at risk you may lose a little bit
when you resale but most likely you even
gonna make some money so investing in
property in itself does not render you
qualifying for the eb5 visa same with e2
visa with e2 visa it's much lower
investment starting with 100k there
could be less amount of money but one
100k is a good start for 200 000
you can probably buy a little shared in
miami you know we know that right but if
you go to kentucky maybe some other
state nothing against those states uh
the the price is going to be cheaper
right so you may be thinking okay i'll
buy and then i start buying more and
this and that same concept applies okay
maybe it's not about the uh jobs anymore
but it's more about the risk e2 has also
component of risk of investment and if
it's all in real property then it's not
going to come probably the 20 of your
investment may count toward your
investment even if it's a real estate
especially if it's in the commercial
real estate and probably most likely
it's in commercial real estate let's say
you buy an office for the operation of
your company and you're gonna put 10
people here to work from there we go if
it's uh
about 20 of your whole investment that's
going to count towards it right but not
more than that and only in this narrow
situation but there are ways where you
can use some of your money where you
could combine purchasing properties
residential properties and your
investment visa that's probably going to
go to e2 visa specifically because again
for eb5 it's going to be much much
harder it's always a good start with e2
visa with the plans to scale in the
future you may well go for e2vs in the
beginning and then see what's going on
in the future so how can we use real
estate investment in its visa for
example you purchase five apartments
right five apartments for uh two hundred
thousand dollars and uh you invested a
million dollars and now you wanna get a
visa we are not going to use your
investment in the property at all for
the purpose of e2 visa meaning you will
have to come up with another
100k or more so we create a company and
we call it a maintenance company that is
going to maintain those five apartments
in the beginning you follow my thought
right
we don't use these five apartments in
the petition directly but we say that
there is a separate llc or a separate c
corp that is a maintenance company that
that maintains the us properties and
look we already have five contracts to
maintain those properties and we want to
grow we want to become bigger so this is
a really good start of course it's not
as simple as it may sound but it's much
easier than trying to get into visa just
buying the properties which is probably
impossible to get into vision to this
extent to this effect the biggest
difficulty in the maintenance company is
to spend
60 maybe 70 000 dollars before we file
the petition and you know that this is a
must we cannot just put the money in the
company say hey we invested no we have
to spend the significant part of it the
majority of this money so if you rent
the office if you buy the furniture if
you hire one or maybe maybe already two
people the cleaning lady and the
administrator
you build the website you do some
marketing campaign you write a business
plan you put some money in research we
already get really close to sixty
seventy thousand dollars especially if
you need to buy a vehicle because people
need to get around to go to the
apartment to fix things to clean things
to welcome the new tenants and things
like that especially if you do airbnb
and stuff like that from this
perspective that's not really hard to
spend even more than 100 000k but
probably 60 to 70 000
will be enough if we're speaking about
eb5 visa this is a much larger spending
so we need to show how within two years
we will be able to invest a million
dollars in this maintenance company and
again i don't say that it's impossible
all i say it's really hard in my eyes
because i can see the scale of the an
amount of properties that needs to be
serviced by 10 people again not
impossible
but much harder but i know you guys are
talented you're good investment people
you may have an idea how you can grow
that business and if you ask me for
example how i would structure this llc
for eb 5 visa would be those 10
employees let's put a hypothesis so
let's say we have one general manager
who is going to manage all these people
you have a marketing person who is going
to do the marketing campaign in your
company then you have let's say three
cleaning ladies right so that's already
five people
then you have a repair guy who's gonna
go and repair stuff then you have
administrator who's who answers the
calls and communicates with the clients
that's already seven a separate person
could uh work with those leads you may
have a customary experienced person who
is gonna help to communicate with the
customers write the scripts for the
customers create uh the templates uh for
the communication for the customers and
you have an accountant in the company
right because when you have 10 people it
probably makes it makes sense to bring
an in-house accountant but not to use
the outsourced one there you got the 10
jobs in your company and
it may have sounded difficult before but
now you have a really good picture how
you can invest in a real estate in the
un in the united states of america and
get one of the investment visas you too
is a non-immigrant allows you to stay
perpetually in the states and
eb5 visa is the visa where you can get a
green card for your entire family if you
think that you satisfy the criteria of
e2 visa or eb5 visa and not necessarily
in a real estate it could be any other
business go down below this video and
