Investing in America as a immigrant

Posted

Hello BP community! Im an 18 year old Norwegian who is super interested and love Real Estate. Ive been reading tons about it and have been planning on starting a real estate flipping business with an American partner which I meet while I was there on an exchange year. We have a set business plan, finance for our first deal and are clear on our goals and vision for the business. Im planning on going to college in Iowa where I have previously studied, so this would be our market.

But after getting all of that in order I see that working for your business is illegal for me unless I go through different Visa applications. So my question is if its worth it for me to go all in with the American Visa since I have everything planned out and a good partnership, or if I should keep it safe, stay in Norway,  and start my own thing here? ( Although I've heard its a lot harder to make money through real estate in Norway).

Any opinion would help, just need different views from similar mindsets.

Thank you BP!
