You would be surprised if you compared the number of Americans moving to Mexico to retire with the amount of Mexicans immigrating to the US.

Just for context, I’ve been saving and investing in ETFs and Index funds for the past 5 years and am currently working on catching up with the US financial system, being an immigrant.

There is a large immigrant community in this area.

Before coming to USA, I spent 10 years in the UK and I know British had very hefty penalty 10,000 GBP per illegal worker.

I’m Svetlana, my husband and I are 1st-generation immigrants raising children here in the US - some brainstorming lead us to real estate investment as a tool to secure our family financial future.

If your parents can't help you, then it may be a struggle at your age.In the UK we have the Princes Trust that helps young business people, but that's normally people with ideas / products to sell, not so much investing in real estate.

If you are looking for SFR for buy and hold rental properties, you may find some good options in Lambertville and Flemington, especially where there is an immigrant population looking for inexpensive housing.

It is popular with UK travelers.

Thanks everyone, I'm very new to US real estate investing and there are some differences between here and the UK so thanks for providing clarity!

A friend of mine who bought a 32 unit building chose to only rent to illegal immigrants, who doesn't understand their rights, and tells them he would report them to immigration if they gave him any trouble.
