Why do EB-5 visa investors usually suffer massive capital losses when they invest in regional centers? Why haven't our EB-5 visa investor clients suffered any capital losses since 2004?

It is a well known fact that EB-5 visa investors who make the mistake of investing in regional centers usually experience capital loss and rarely if ever get any return on investment, while those who invest in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually see a healthy return on investment and don't experience capital losses.

Quite often, I've been asked WHAT is the number one reason our clients have NEVER experienced capital losses while EB-5 visa investors who invest in regional centers and risky franchises lose all or part of their investment?

The answer to that is quite simple: Our clients are able to PROFITABLY create 10 jobs because we invest our clients money in businesses, while regional centers use investors' funds to pay big commission checks of $50,000 to $200,000 per investor to immigration agents or middlemen. In plain words, if 10% to 40% of the capital is given away as commission to immigration agents, it's hard to profitably create jobs. On the other hand, we don't give out big commission checks, which is why we find it very easy to profitably create jobs for our EB-5 visa investor clients.

EB-5 visa investors need to remember that even though the SEC requires regional centers to clearly disclose commissions to EB-5 visa investors, most regional center CEO's don't clearly disclose this fact to EB-5 visa investors, because they don't want investors to know that the investment funds are being wasted on commissions instead of being used in the business.

It is a well known fact that there is not even ONE regional center whose CEO and CFO are willing to offer sworn affidavits confirming that they have and will continue to:

1) NEVER Violate securities laws while offering and / or selling securities.

2) Fully and completely disclose of all material facts.

3) NEVER engage in conflict of interest.

4) Offer FEE refunds in case a client is denied due to negligence or incompetence of the regional center's management.

In sharp contrast to regional centers, our firm does offer the above guarantees to our clients, which is why NONE of our clients have suffered. If a Regional center's executives refuse to offer these guarantees, then obviously they are NOT offering a safe investment.

In MOST regional center investments, capital loss is quite common as regional centers usually engage in conflict of interest, due to which the EB-5 visa investors usually suffer operating losses and capital losses.

A VERY high percentage of EB-5 visa investors do NOT get their permanent green cards when applying through regional centers, while Direct Investments offer a significantly better rate.

EB-5 visa investors should remember and understand that Genuine Direct investment businesses are the ONLY safe option for EB-5 visa investors in every single respect as it is extremely rare, if not impossible, to find a regional center that doesn't violate securities laws, commits securities fraud and engages in conflict of interest at the expense of EB-5 visa investors. 

Here are some of the critical reasons that EB-5 visa investors should ALWAYS choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses and avoid regional centers:

1.    In a Genuine Direct Investment Business, it is quite unusual to encounter fraud or conflict of interest. This alone is THE biggest reason why EB-5 visa investors usually experience capital loss if they opt for regional centers or unsafe Direct Investments (such as Twistee Treats or Voodoo or Marcos Pizza), while those who opt for Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually NEVER experience capital loss. 

2.    EB-5 visa investors who choose Genuine Direct Investment Businesses and manage their business, usually earn annual ROI of 15% to 40%, while EB-5 visa investors who select regional centers usually earn 0-2% annual ROI. 

3.    Genuine Direct Investment Businesses offer easy exit strategies to EB-5 visa investors while those who invest in regional centers experience TERRIBLE exit strategies. 

4.    Regional Centers usually commit securities fraud and securities law violations while this is usually unheard of in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses. 

5.    EB-5 visa investors usually get capital gains if they invest in a Genuine Direct Investment Business and almost NEVER get capital gains if they invest in a regional center. 

6.    EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses usually see faster processing and approval of their petitions, while it takes much longer for EB-5 visa investors to get their immigrant visa through regional centers.  

7.    EB-5 visa investors in Genuine Direct Investment Businesses have a higher chance of getting their permanent green card, while those who opt for regional centers have a lower chance of getting their green card.

The ONLY safe, fast and usually profitable way to get an EB-5 visa is through investment in a GENUINE Direct Investment Business.
