Tax implications aside, by working and making (non-passive) income in the United States you would also fall under the jurisdiction of US immigration officials, which is probably not a good place to be.

However, the main reasons of Chinese to buy property in the US remain personal reasons such as education and immigration.  

I'm originally from Cuba, I've been living in the USA for about 4 years now, and as most immigrants my choice to come to this country which I love now and I call it my second home, was fueled by a burning desire of having the opportunities to build a better life for myself and my family and have the freedom we enjoy in this country.

., I know your story but it never fails to inspire and makes me smile 😊 I love hearing the success story of fellow immigrants, striving and working hard for our families And doing well in America.

But that was in the US, and I am recently immigrated to Canada and am still learning about how things work here.I'm also happy to see many Canadians saying that I should be fine owning a single property used partly as a rental and partly as a primary residence in my name, and that Canadians tend to be less litigious than Americans.

Hi allI have been a plus member for about 3 years, this website is a great source of information , I hope this time , it will help me personally.This is my story:I am 56 years old, I have lived in NJ all my immigrant life, I will retire from my Government job on 06/01/19, Because We want a life change, We will move to Union Co N.C., We are planning to move by 07/01/2019.

The net migration stats are also skewed because there are a lot of foreigners moving to California (net Immigration)  The stats others mentioned are domestic migration (within the US) not accounting for the net immigration from foreign countries.

If an immigrant who came to this country without knowing a word of English can do it, you can too. 

You will probably end up breaking two Federal laws: labor/immigration laws (as he may not be authorized to legally work here) and tax laws.You're unlikely to be caught, but you might, and then you face various risks of extra taxes, penalties etc. 

Being an immigrant means that I did not have a SSN so I had to be issued one.
