What are the benefits of investing in an EB-5 Regional Center?

There are some advantages to investing in a Regional Center as opposed to applying for an EB-5 visa by investing in a new or troubled business. Investing in Regional Center provides two main benefits. First, the Regional Center Program has a less restrictive job creation requirement because it permits the use of indirect jobs towards the requirement that the investment create ten jobs. Second, Regional Centers require less day to day involvement on the part of the investor. The investor usually needs to live in the same location as a commercial enterprise that is not part of a Regional Center because the investor needs to manage the day to day operations of the commercial enterprise.

A potential investor should consult an attorney before beginning the EB-5 process. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, your New York EB-5 Attorney, at RMaher@RobertMaherLaw.com. My phone number is 212-939-7548, or look for me on Skype: rmaher1
