THE MID TO LONG TERM BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN THE USA
THE FLORIDA REAL ESTATE MARKET
WHY INVESTING IN FLORIDA?
The Asian economic growth and the availability of discretionary funds comfort Asian buyers to diversify and securely shield in tangible hard assets
Fighting volatility in your home country, offsetting political and economic incertitude, mitigating fears and perceived risk in volatile stock markets, bonds and commodities
Real Estate mean prices in Florida are relatively low due to numerous short sales and foreclosures currently available on the market. However, because of the hype for this type of properties, prices are increasing and as a consequence, your choice might get more limited with time but you may benefit from important capital gain
http://www.kijner.com/Why-investing-in-Florida
Bank interest rates are lower for now in most Asian countries compared to the USA, but we are already seeing an increase since November 2010
Florida real estate market is one of the most attractive in North America with more than 260 days of sun, a warm subtropical climate and median temperatures averaging 80°F / 27°C
Florida is the second world destination but mostly an international hub thanks to state of the art infrastructures (international airports, modern highways, sea ports for Cruises or shipment of raw and manufactured goods), vibrant cities, leading industries and renowned universities…
Florida has no personal state taxes and low corporate taxes
Miami is the number one city for foreign investors and Asian clients are rapidly taking advantage of the many investment opportunities there

Real Estate in Florida is an “easier” investment choice:

SHORT SALE & FORECLOSURE (REO)
WHAT IS A SHORT SALE & FORECLOSURE (REO)?
In a short sale and a foreclosure, the selling price is below the amount of the mortgage. The property has thus a lesser value than the amount owed to the bank. Note that the selling price won’t probably cover unpaid property taxes, closing costs or any other fees related to the sale of the property.
The main difference between a short sale and a foreclosure is that a short sale is sold by the owner with the bank’s approval while a foreclosure is sold directly by the bank. In a foreclosure, a judge transfers the property deed to the bank so that the property becomes bank owned or REO (Real Estate Owned).

LET THE EXPERTS HELP YOU AND AVOID THE COMMON PITFALLS
EASY: Depending on the sales price and location - especially in Miami - properties can span from low shack to Ocean front condominiums to gulf course single homes or luxury Estates for a steal when the purchase is properly timed and structured
DIFFICULT: Is the property a “normal” sale, a short sale or a foreclosure (REO)? Does the bank manage the closing for someone local or who’s out of state? In which processing stage is the selling? In a “Sells As Is”, 95 % of the time the purchase is non negotiable, under specific conditions and with possible restrictions to foreign investors This situation may be “irrational” as Bank Servicers do not know the property’s specifics and environment
HARD: When the buyer is a foreign financial or institutional investor who doesn’t realize the reality of the local market The “response” time is generally quite lengthy even with HAMP and HASFA deals! The average being from a minimum 30 days to over 3 months. Sometimes, 4 to 6 months to get a” No” or no response at all! Do not make several offers on different properties! You would be bond if the offers were to be accepted
BECOME A US PERMANENT RESIDENT
THE EB5 GREEN CARD PROGRAM
http://www.kijner.com/eb5
The EB-5 “Regional Center” Immigrant Investor Program enables you to live anywhere in the USA with a Permanent Residence through a minimum of $500,000 Investment for the whole family*!
Under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Pilot Program, a $500,000 investment in a "Regional Center" enables foreign investors to qualify for the Green Card without the constraints of having to set-up and manage a U.S. business
This immigration option allows investors to legally live as permanent residents** in any U.S. State and engage in a business, employment, or any activity of their choice such as attending a university, or just retire* Additional costs may apply based on each project** More than 6 months out of the year

Our exclusive role is to help you find the best Regional Center and the program that will most likely secure your immigration status. We do consulting, analysis and due diligences based on your individual needs and unique project

The definition of the best Regional Center is:
One that suits your unique immigration requirements and gives you a Permanent GREEN CARD
One that secures your $500,000 investment and let you know how and what it is invested in
One that has built in exit strategies such as to know how and when you are getting your money back especially in the event that one or more of the conditions are not met (i.e.: employment…)
One that outlines the risks, a reasonable time line, and the anticipated return on investment with certainty
