A Business-in-a-Box with the average investment of $250K (a 75% savings compared to traditional REI) includes initial property acquisition, SREI + IAB visa services
How does USCIS see real estate investing as a path for a visa?
Traditional Real Estate Investing
- Passive and not visa-friendly
- Traditional REI is frowned upon by USCIS and is not considered “at-risk”, which is a requirement for most visas.
- If you invest in enough doors to qualify for a visa, you will need to report any purchases/sales as transactions will be generally deemed as “material changes”.
- SREI is a business-in-a-box which overlays the client’s traditional real estate investing plans and acts as the “core business investment” into which you are investing, so that your visa is not dependent on your real estate portfolio!
- Since the visa is not “dependent” on the underlying real estate, reporting of purchases/sales/etc. will not generally be required.
How many doors do you need? What about the financials?
Traditional Real Estate Investing
- Would need portfolio of 6-10 doors to even potentially qualify as a visa-friendly business
- Must show that this portfolio has sufficient ROI to meet visa requirements (economic impact/hires)
- Average investment $1M (due to needing 8-10 doors with sufficient ROI)
- Since the SREI investment represents the core “business”, and your REI business model is built from that base, clients only need 1-2 doors in their portfolio @ time of application
- Average investment $250K (a 75% savings) including initial property acquisition, SREI + IAB visa services
What about the business itself?
Traditional Real Estate Investing
- No actual “operating business” is involved, and most times the key reason people invest in RE is specifically due to this factor but which is not visa-friendly.
- Generic software, programs & CRM.
- Analyze deals independently.
- Need to find realtors/deals on your own.
- No visa-specific or visa-oriented counseling or consulting.
- SREI serves as the “operating business” which allows you to invest in real estate freely through the customized SREI business model which we develop collaboratively.
- Access to custom software & programs and build-out of customized CRM.
- Deal analysis provided through closing of first transaction.
- Expert Guidance in finding suitable properties in line with developed business model through our partners.
- Weekly one-on-one coaching and consulting regarding plans and portfolio and collaborative build-out of visa-friendly, customized business model
