I don't think Japanese banks will lend to you since you won't have any official immigration status or documentable income from a Japanese tax perspective.

Look at the fact that almost half of all people moving to Nashville are coming from LA, NYC and Chicago, and you can see that our prices are still very attractive comparatively.I know everyone ever has said "this time is different" right before it all blows up, and I'm not saying that Nashville prices will not have dips and stalls over the coming years, but to have a greater than 5% decrease in real estate prices in the next 5 years would entail all immigration to stop and some kind of severe national pressure.

I have sent you a DM.I'm trying to understand what it takes to start a real estate project for EB5 purposes, - Im aware of the immigration steps involved but what are the steps involved in setting up the business once the financial part is in place?

Poor Immigrant family that moved to NYC in the mid-60s.When through the worst time of times.Eventually finished College and wound up working for large Investment / Financial firms.While working as an employee in the Computer field, I decided to become an Entrepreneur.

Also as she speaks Spanish, the people that mow the lawns or other low level immigrant work, I always make her go over and say good morning or good afternoon etc.

All this from a 1st generation immigrant who came here with nothing and never earned much from W2 jobs.Of course, she is missed. 

Hundreds of years ago, groups of immigrants came to America by the boatload.
