Would you care to let potential investors know about your history and pending litigation sir?

Plus, WHY should they go into partnership with you and let you eat up half or more of the profit, when they can go directly with Cici's and pocket all the profits?
Just asking....
EB-5 visa seekers are NOT stupid to give their money to someone who won't invest even a penny of their own funds, and wants most of the profits.
The following is an objective comparison on the pros & cons of Direct Investment Businesses versus Partnerships & RC's.
1. Freedom from fraud and conflict of interest. Business Brokers like me owe a fiduciary duty to clients, and are required to disclose all material facts to clients, which is why I'm willing to offer notarized affidavits to clients confirming that I've disclosed all facts. Partnership / RC promoters usually refuse to offer notarized affidavits to EB-5 visa seekers stating that they've disclosed all material facts and conflicts of interest to investors. EB-5 visa seekers should not trust such people or deal with them. We always advise EB-5 visa seekers to request CPA audited financial statements in order to avoid fraud.
2. Easy exit strategy: With Direct Investment Businesses, the EB-5 visa seeker has 100% control over the business and can access their funds whenever they want, while partnerships & RC's usually lock in funds for 5-9 years or more. While the funds are locked, it is the promoters that get most of the profits.
3. Capital gains & losses: It is common for EB-5 visa seekers to experience loss of all or part of their capital if they invest in RC's or partnerships, while in 9 years I've yet to see my clients in direct investment businesses lose their capital. EB-5 visa seekers should demand CPA audited financial statements of the promoter's past and present projects to check if prior investors have experienced capital losses. Promoters who refuse to furnish CPA audited statements may be committing fraud. In contrast, those who buy Direct Investment Businesses usually have solid capital gains.
4. Mitigation of visa loss risk: USCIS statistics clearly show that those who invest in partnerships & RC's have an approximately 42% chance of getting their EB-5 visa, while 100% of my clients have successfully obtained their EB-5 visa and in the process have also successfully earned annual profits above 15%, and exited with capital gains in an easy and transparent manner. The chances of getting the visa are higher when EB-5 visa seekers own their own business.
5. Ease of management and absentee ownership: With Direct Investment Businesses, EB-5 visa seekers can own and operate their businesses in any part of the US and still continue professional careers as engineers, doctors, pharmacists, dentists, etc. It is very easy for owners of Direct Investment Businesses to manage and operate their businesses even on part time basis if they're working full time jobs and managing their businesses only 12-20 hours a week.
6. Solid profit earnings: It is very easy for investors in Direct Investment Businesses to earn profits of 15-50% annually, while investors in partnerships and RC's usually earn 1% annually. In dollar terms, over a 5 year period, EB-5 visa seekers who invest $1,000,000 in a partnership or RC get $50,000 total dividends if they're lucky, while those who bought their own Businesses usually earned $1,000,000 or more in profits. This is a massive difference in profits.
I've helped 53 investors successfully obtain EB-5 visas, and will be happy to assist those who wish to get their EB-5 visas in a quick & safe manner.
Yours truly
