Hi
We are buying a property close to Brantome (Dordogne) and the property has no shutters on the windows or doors, as the current owners are not keen on them. This is going to be a holiday home, so...

Re: EB-5 Capital? Anybody invested with them?

As far as I am aware, the only regional centre with 100% approval rates is Jay Peak, Vermont.

Re: I 829 condition removal on EB 5 RC

We had our conditions removed back in July, so have our 10 year green cards. I did post this on the forum.

This was through Jay Peak, where I understand there is 100% approval.

Re: EB5 - Jay Peak

In answer to the above:

We used the attorneys that were recommended by Jay Peak. This made sense as they have all the documentation to hand. Legal fees were in addition to the "fee" and a couple...

Playstation 3

Cannot seem to find any recent posts on whether or not the Sony Playstation 3 would work in the UK.

Would it play European DVD's?

Also how about a Sony home cinema sound system and blu ray...

Re: Which EB5 Seattle or Jay Peak?

Correct. The EB5 visa is an immigration visa -therefore those fortunate enough to get one are doing so to be able to live in the USofA.

Of course you have to prove that the regional centre you are investing in is real. The regional centre has to be approved by the government, so when you apply the attorney acting on behalf of the...

Re: Which EB5 Seattle or Jay Peak?

You are not restricted as to where you live. So you could invest in an EB5 in Vermont and live in Florida. You are also able to work, as is your Wife (if applicable).

Re: Which EB5 Seattle or Jay Peak?

I am comfortable with the exit strategy, I should point out that I or the other investors have little or no say in this but that is something we knew from the start.

We are a family of 4 and...

Re: Which EB5 Seattle or Jay Peak?

I am very happy with my decision. We get an income, which will work out to around 4-5%pa. We have recently asked for the conditions to...

Re: EB5 - Jay Peak

We are in phase 1 at Jay Peak and yes we get an income from the hotel. I anticipate a return of around 3% this year.

I thought that the water park was on track, if not ahead of schedule and the...

Re: UK Citizen seeking Green Card

Why not go for the EB-5 visa and invest 500K?

You can then live wherever you want and start your own company, without any restrictions.

Re: Anyone knows about EB5

I would hope we will get our initial investment back. The exit strategy for our regional centre is fairly well structured but of course nothing is guaranteed.

Re: Anyone knows about EB5

I suggest you ask your lawyer why he recommends these two regional centres.

As Ray has said, they both involve property and as we all know you need to be super savy/lucky to invest in property...

Re: Payable Capital Gains tax on UK house sale ?

Actually 15% or even 20% is not as bad as 40% in the UK.

Although no one likes to pay tax and CGT is a particularly unfair one. A bit like death duties. It seems to be pretty fair in the USA.
