The Challenge:

Why do most real estate professionals get stuck?

FACT: Cross-border expansion is rarely blocked by lack of opportunity.

  • It is blocked by fragmented advice.
  • Immigration is discussed without business context.
  • Real estate is pursued without visa strategy.
  • Realtor Licensing is treated as a standalone goal rather than part of a broader plan.
  • Disconnects lead to delays, missteps, and decisions that quietly limit future options.

Live Zoom Event

At Investing Across Borders, we see THis repeatedly.

The issue iS NOT ambition (or the lack thereof).

The ISSUE is the absence of a coordinated, longer-term strategy that aligns immigration, licensing & business goals.


YOU bring the vision.

What’s missing is an integrated path forward.

That's Where WE come in!


THE TURNKEY SOLUTION

The Harmonized Approach

This is NOT a course, and it's NOT a one-size-fits-all program.

It is a structured, professionally-guided framework designed to help REAL ESTATE professionals and investors understand:

  • Which U.S. visa options align with their goals
  • Whether and how a U.S. real estate license fits into that strategy
  • How real estate can support broader immigration and business planning, when appropriate

Led by Lauren Cohen, an International Lawyer, Realtor & Business Strategist, our Streamlined, Turnkey Approach integrates visa planning, real estate licensing, and business strategy into a single, cohesive roadmap designed to pave your path to success.

Uniquely, Investing Across Borders doesn't separate planning from execution,  visas from investing strategies, or family from business planning. Instead, we ALIGN them!


WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

  • Visa Strategy First
  • How different U.S. visa options intersect with business activity, real estate involvement, and long-term planning, and why the sequence matters.
  • HOW TO Immigrate with Real Estate 
  • A realistic discussion of how real estate can support business, investment AND immigration strategies, where and how it works, where and why it does not, and the common misconceptions that lead people astray.


Are YOU a Realtor?

How can YOU Access a U.S. License?

Why and when obtaining a U.S. real estate license makes strategic sense, and how to integrate it as part of your broader cross-border business and immigration plan. 

✓ The Turnkey Advantage

How to avoid navigating visas, licensing, and market entry through disconnected advice that creates downstream problems.

✓ The Harmonized Difference

Why aligning immigration, real estate, and business decisions upfront protects flexibility, reduces risk, and preserves future options.

✓ The Vision Roadmap

A step-by-step framework for professionals who want to operate across borders intentionally, not reactively.

As we get ready to close on our first U.S. properties, we can’t help but think of you. You were key in getting us here. The expression “it takes a village” is true in many areas of life, including real estate investing. You and your team were our village, taking care of us every step of the way, making sure that everyone was executing their tasks on time and providing us top-quality service. You brought all the pieces of the complex puzzle together without missing a beat. You were our one-stop shop and that made things less stressful for us and much easier to get the ball rolling and take action to start investing in the U.S.
Here we are today, closing on gorgeous properties in a beautiful location. And so, we say Thank you Lauren for educating us and guiding us. You have been an integral part of our journey to U.S. investing.

"The Investing Across Borders team played a big role in our achieving our L-1A visa at customs last week"

- Peter Sherba

" Lauren was very patient and understanding and wasn't trying to push me or put a square peg in a round hole. She was guiding me with care and consideration at every turn… it was a very enjoyable experience. She always made a point to communicate very quickly. She gave great advice on a variety of different topics, even things that were perhaps a little outside of the immigration and the business side of things. She had insight into other matters like helping me with the health insurance connection and educational requirements for my kids and things like that. Overall, her knowledge and experience were evident and helpful and we are very grateful. "

- Doug Ford

- Allison Maslan

" We recently referred an E-2 investor client of ours to e-Council Inc.com as they had a relatively unusual business model and no formal business plan. Lauren’s team put together a brilliant, very professionally presented business plan ticking all the E-2 boxes and including the necessary five year financial forecast (the US subsidiary is a start-up). They also facilitated the certification of these financials by a US CPA. I cannot recommend them highly enough. "

- Matthew Amoils

We couldn’t be happier. "

- Monique and Randy H.
