@Huong Luu I moved down to Orlando from Ontario 3 years ago on an E2 Visa.  Like @Chad U. said it doesn't lead to citizenship but you can renew indefinitely.  You must be running an active business though, so I purchased a HomeVestors franchise.  EB5 was also an option but much more costly... however I believe it does get you a green card.  

I've been a HomeVestors franchisee for just over 3 years in Orlando.  If I had to do it over again, I definitely would.

@Terri Hollinsworth I went through the same dilemma as you before I decided to invest in real estate investing full time... specifically, "how am I going to generate leads?" and "how long will it take before I find a deal?"  That's when I just decided to buy a HomeVestors franchise and it's helped me "jump start" my real estate investing career.  Not to say you can't do it on your own because MANY do... I just wanted to get going ASAP and buying a franchise helped.  Always happy to share my experience or help a fellow investor because I was in the same position.   Good luck!

@Rebecca Seidler welcome!  Happy to help however I can.  We see lots of flip opportunities so feel free to pm me with some details of what you're looking for and I'll keep an eye out.  Good luck!

@Dinesh Kakumani if you can pm me with more details (area, budget, etc.) I can keep an eye out for you. 

I use Southern Title & Abstract and they've been great.

@Anthony Joseph Candelario welcome!  I was also an engineer and invested in real estate on the side.  Eventually gave up engineering completely and am now a full time investor in Orlando.  Any help I can provide feel free to reach out to me.  Good luck!

Hi Ali.  I moved down from Canada last year with my family to the Orlando area to invest in real estate full time.  I had the same dilemma regarding how I was going to find deals, fund them, etc., so I simply purchased a HomeVestors franchise which kind of got me going right away.  Anything I can do to help, let me know.  Best of luck with your plans, sounds exciting!

@Mark K. I've been a franchisee since August have been extremely happy with my decision so far.  2 of the houses I've purchased so far have been because the sellers knew to look for the "Ugly Houses People."  Of course you can build yourself like many other successful investors have, but if you want to expedite the process, I can't think of a better way.

@Jasmin Ortiz-Campbell I started back in August and probably like you, was hesitant.  But I've had a really great experience so far.  I'm happy to share further if you'd like.  Good luck!
