Exploring the best ways to fund an EB-5 visa investment is crucial for a successful application. We recommend reading insights from expert Marko Issever, who provides a comprehensive overview of the various funding options available to EB-5 investors.
In his article, Marko highlights several important funding sources, including:
-
- Personal Savings and liquid assets, the most straightforward methods, require proof of legal fund sources.
- Asset Liquidation, such as selling real estate or stocks to fund the investment.
- Loans, including secured and, more recently, unsecured loans, especially following legal clarifications from recent cases.
- Gifts and Inheritances, which can be used, provided proper documentation and source verification are in place.
- Business Earnings and investment account liquidations require detailed financial documentation.
- Third-Party Financing, like regional center or project developer loans, to help fulfill funding requirements.
Marko emphasizes that “each investor must choose the most appropriate funding strategy depending on their circumstances” and stresses the importance of meticulous documentation to verify the source of funds.
He also discusses emerging trends such as partial investments, where regional centers accept less than the full investment upfront to accelerate the process, though with careful attention to source documentation.
