Spend your time interviewing and learning from developers and construction company OWNERS-- there are some WONDERFUL people out there... until you spend time with LOTS of them you won't know the "good guys" from the "used car dealers"-- find the people that are VESTED and high profile in the community.I PROMISE ---> you will make FAR MORE money and have a much larger POSITIVE impact on "mankind" by taking the EB5 route (creating jobs, learning the efficiencies of running a successful project,  assimilating into the world of American business) than you could ever have in a series of single or multi-family rehabs.Find and work with people like yourself--people you can TALK to and trust.If you follow this plan of 2 rehabs (or 2 movein ready single family homes) and investing as PART of a small commercial project ...
