I am an immigrant here in Canada and support myparents back home but I am frugal and try to save crazy to be able to invest.

I live in New Jersey.I did my research and the governor of New Jersey passed a law allowing illegal immigrants to get professional licenses.

Most of the time it's immigrants and most of the time they are good people, but it's a bummer that you cannot perform credit or background checks on them....It's a tought choice to make whether you should rent to them or not. 

ABOUT US: I am a long time business litigation attorney/recently turned immigration lawyer and business owner. 

The website notes that I'm an immigrant.

I am a Hong Konger and is going to immigrate to Canada.

My parents are relatively new immigrants that didn't know the nuances of this deal.  

A portion of them are first generation immigrants and I doubt they’d be living up American dream (multi million dollar homes and high 7 - 8 figure net-worth) without their college degree.

Be advised that in some jurisdictions, it’s actually illegal for a landlord to make any inquiry regarding the immigration or citizenship status of a prospective tenant.

However, I've also been told by an immigration lawyer that if I own any property, that could affect my chances of getting an E2 visa if my H1B applications weren't successful.The intersection between immigration law, taxes and real estate is just really confusing and I'd like to talk to somebody who can give me legal and financial council on how best to invest (e.g set up an LLC so there are no properties under your name, get a property management company to prove passive income etc etc).
