EB-5 Regional Centers Offering Loan Options


the fixed nature of this investment vehicle is gaining in popularity.

eb-5 investors don’t necessarily have to put their $500,000 into actual buildings, resorts or enterprises; some regional centers are now enabling investors to fund fixed-term loans to others instead.

these programs give immigrant investors an alternative to traditional eb-5 vehicles and perhaps provide some reconciliation and peace of mind along the way. The popularity of offering businesses or economic growth and development agencies a fixed-term loan in an approved regional center program is rising with potential immigrants because this option covers all the focal points investors seem to look for.

investor visa applicants seem to like this particular option because it enables them to meet eb-5 visa requirements while providing some sense of investment comfort and security.

the fixed-term loans are appealing to potential eb-5 visa investors who are focusing on these three main issues:

  • getting a green card in a timely manner

  • seeing the restrictions removed after the two-year probationary period

  • increasing the chances of the return of their investment

regional centers that offer fix-term loan vehicles for immigrants to invest in are necessarily and essentially providing an exit strategy, which is something other eb-5 visa programs often lack. Commercial, real estate and mixed-fund investments often do not have a personal and specific and dated exit strategy – loans typically do.

the eb-5 program enables potential immigrants to gain relatively rapid access to green cards in exchange for a $500,000 investment in a government-approved regional center. These centers have been created to boost economic conditions in areas with high unemployment.
