EB5 is definitely alive and well  and Charlotte, NC is a great place to invest in our booming hotel industry.

I also will be helping EB5 candidates in Oregon later in 2017.

THE EB5 ITEM THAT CHANGED: was this month Dec 2016 the FEE structure to participate in the program changed 

-> INCREASED!! at the US Govt level. We mainly work at the $500k investment level per investor, per project--to keep things simple. Hotel projects,  for example, on the outer edges of the city & airport area are qualified TEA (targeted employment areas). 

ALL of NC is a regional affiliate center.

I am a consultant (not a broker) and I work to bring together attorneys, international cpa-s, immigration attorneys, developers and EB5 candidates !  to create jobs and impressive hotel development projects.

I feel more like a Concierge : ) service because it takes so much handholding to help people new to the USA to get a soc sec #, find a place to live here, turn on power, water, internet, set up a bank  account, get furniture, dishes, pots and pans! It's way way more than just helping them fill out forms/fees etc and telling them what company to write a check to.  It's a personal 24/7 commitment getting them settled and into the community.  This is the most

emotionally rewarding role for anyone that takes this honorable job on, to help immigrants get that USA green card. The EB5 program is a win-win for everyone! I've known people that are so excited to learn about the EB5 path to citizenship (and plan to maintain dual citizenship) after they had lost all hope , still waiting in their home countries...on 16 year wait lists--&  still waiting!!

So thankful for the EB5 Program even with the Dec 2016 higher fees -- TRUMP (sorry to say i boycotted / ignored the whole election this year)will not be changing the program-- he is a business man and certainly PRO-Real Estate and PRO-Job Creation.

Anyone interested in a green card and being a part of the USA should look into EB5.  There are many many of us all over the country to help.

Hi Don,

It happens in my universe. The buyer IS the real estate agent... the question" was how can a realtor buying a property for him/herself " improve their buying efficiency and hang on to more of their investing capital.

If you own multiple properties, for legal reasons and your sanity be CONSISTENT. If this is the only property you own, give it back AND offer them a $50 PAY BY THE FIRST discount on NEXT MONTHS RENT... maybe you can show them how great it feels to be early aka on time for a change.

Pay yourself a bigger commission? 

There are no regulations on commissions.

That will help boost the COMPS too for future appraisals on your property.

Push the sales price as HIGH as possible, pay your self 5% commission with a $10,000 bonus.

The seller will get the same NET, you get a bigger paycheck to fund your portfolio AND the neighbors will all love you. : ) 

Great

thanks very much

ill give you a ring on sat afternoon 

thank you thank you thank you 

cd use is the existing structure ( house i live in) any future use will need a MINOR rezoning to reflect site plan new bldg footprint and parking i rezoned it in 2013, petition 2013-14 on rezoning.org

SHARING: 

Ill let you know of rehab deals i run across

ill send u a colleague request 

fyi, i recently found some land about 10 acres that can be bought 1 acre at a time piece by piece, that can easily be rezone to commercial in a great location

Back to my land, I rezoned it from Res to O ... i thought i'd call Simonini to see what price he might pay for this land to build really high end townhomes like he's doing in front of SouthPark at Fairview & Closeburn

Hi Joel

Thank you

the demand is here absolutely... but you said it exactly... only a few a drs have the skill set and interest in being a part of the design and bldg process... 

i can get a list of interested docs that will put money down... but i guess i'll show that to a developer? and see if a dev wants to take on a project with occupants ready to sign? 

hi  7612 Ballantyne Commons Parkway 

Ill start by saying i'm 60 and ready to sell. I bought this land in 2004 on the "Rodeo Drive" of Charlotte NC and waited for everything to develop around it... So i have the LAST parcel of undeveloped land in this entire area of South Charlotte. Zoning says they want to see a MOB here. I've met with different large commercial development companies and they want to pay $1.2M for the land( closing someday if the far future) and build a 2 story MOB and lease the spaces to Drs. I was hoping to find independent physicians that would partner to OWN the building for their practices and maybe lease out or sell off any remaining space. I'm finding it a challenge to locate Drs that have a minute to see the big picture and realize that they are paying $17,000 a month for leasing 4000 sqft of space down the street when they could go thru the development process : 0 and they could own the entire 20,000 sqft bldg for less .. owning their $27,000 a month. So i don't want to JV. I just want to sell the dirt for a price that reflects its unique rare high end location. so how can i add value and attract end users to be owners vs. a big dev co build one more all leased office space bldg on the planet. I have standing offers of $1.5 1.6 MM for uses like storage or hotels that zoning won't allow. THANK YOU SO MUCH for any ideas
