Chinese investors want to be my private lenders, now what?

[Josh Caldwell]

I have a good deal of experience with private lenders, but this is something new for me.  I have been approached by a group of Chinese investors who want to fund commercial real estate deals that I am working on.  I am doing my due diligence on them right now.  

My question is what extra steps do I need to do to bring foreign money into the US, and what documents will I need from them?  

Thanks for any help

Not that complicated..  I have off shore investors … the only issue I had was my bank wanted to check the patriot act box.

when I was getting multi million dollar wires into my accounts.. they wanted to make sure it was clean money.

to that end my investors came to the us and we had a meeting with my bankers.. 

going direct to your attorneys trust account could work.. but the funds I brought in went into my account. 

Ergo my banker wanted to know where they came from :)  but foreign money coming into the US is very common and its not a security or anything like that unless your doing a securities offering..

But you can PM me if you wish for further details.

but good job.. once you land those investor they tend to be LONG term great partners..
