Moving to the United States as an Investor?

by cha on January 17, 2012

We’re going through rough economic times in the United States, but it’s even worse in many other countries. Faced with a lack of employment opportunities, financial security and a forward-looking environment, many foreign citizens are considering moving to the United States as Investors. To make this idea even more attractive, a green card can often be obtained by investing at least $500,000 in an existing venture.

The US Has a Long History of Foreign Innovation
As a nation of immigrants, the US has depended on foreign innovation throughout its history to stay on the cutting edge of industry, business and technology. Approximately half of America’s most progressive companies were founded by visionaries who were not born in the country according to a recent report put together by the National Foundation for American Policy. If you add in major investors and critical support, that number jumps to 76 percent. Clearly, this western country depends on a constant influx of new ideas to support innovation and economic growth.

Where Do These Foreign Investors Come From?
At this time, the majority of foreign entrepreneurs come from India and Israel. However, many are from Canada, New Zealand and Iran with smaller numbers from other countries like Italy, Greece, South Africa, Singapore and the United Kingdom. However, you shouldn’t worry if you hale from another region; there are no restrictions based on nationality when it comes to investing in the United States.

Making the Move
If you’re interested in moving to the United States as an investor, look into the investor visa program. You can find the details at the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website under the EB-5 Immigrant Investor section for permanent worker status. Moving to a new country where you may not know anyone or even be familiar with the language, laws or local customs can be extremely stressful, but it also provides a number of great opportunities.

If you’ve perused home or apartment listings during the colder months, you’ve probably found the options a little skimpy. You’re less likely to find the home you really want during the off-season, since fewer people are moving than during the peak time at the beginning of July and the warm months surrounding it. Relocating during the off-season shouldn’t mean settling for less.

Live in comfort while in transition.Relocating in the off season
Corporate housing makes it possible to live in comfort until you search for your dream home during the peak season. This type of temporary housing is much more comfortable and even affordable than a hotel, and you won’t have new neighbors every day. You’ll find an amazing array of attractive corporate housing options in great neighborhoods to fit your budget and lifestyle.

Whether you have a family or live alone, corporate housing provides creature comforts and amenities designed to make you feel at home. Pet-friendly, fully furnished units with swimming pools, on-site gyms, private parking and other luxurious features provide an inviting, home-away-from-home atmosphere. Units located near local business and shopping areas make your move more convenient and exciting.

More information… better decisions.
Corporate housing also helps make the transition into a new community a lot easier. In addition to providing a comfortable temporary home base, your corporate housing firm can offer a great deal of information about your new town. From information on school districts to helping you obtain a new driver’s license, your friendly temporary housing agents leave you with a lot less on your plate.

Helping  you with an easier transition
Utilities are included, and you won’t have to go through the trouble of transferring your current cable, power, telephone, water and Internet bills multiple times during your transition to a new home. You’ll even have access to storage, housekeeping, car and concierge services with most units. These amenities remove some of the stress of adjusting to life in an unfamiliar place.

Corporate housing can be billed directly to your organization to eliminate the hassle of temporary housing related expense reports. All that’s left for you to do is enjoy your temporary new home and get acquainted with your new community. Why settle for anything other than your dream home when you could live in comfort and luxury while waiting for the peak season?

Temporary housing can make the transition easier and in comfort, find out how Corporate Housing Associates can help.
