Real Estate for Immigrants: Protecting in a Trump World

[Rudy Manna]

I am an real estate investor and built a decent (and growing) portfolio over the last couple of years. However, I am also an immigrant on visa.

I am not from one of the seven banned countries, but in the new world there is always a risk I might have to leave for an indefinite period. So, in case that happens I want to prepare myself. Specifically, I want to prepare for the scenario that I don't sell my portfolio and had to leave the country suddenly, and cant (or don't want to) come back for a really long period.

- Can I sell while not present in the country? Are there logistical complications?

- Can I keep holding while not present in the country for a long period? Is there any risk of losing ownership?

I still think the scenarios are improbable, but not impossible. Thanks in advance.
