Many immigration attorneys have asked me about EB-5 investors from China. The majority of Chinese EB-5 investors share the following characteristics:
Who Are They?
- Mostly male, married, between 40-50 years of age
- Private business owners, individuals who made wealthy through investment in stocks and real estate
- The Chinese are willing and eager to invest in the U.S.
Where Are They Coming from?
- Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, ChongQing and 2nd tier cities such as Hangzhou, Shenyang, Chengdu, etc.
What Do They Like?
- Projects in areas with large Asian or Chinese population – They want to stay closer to their own culture, food, language and media.
- Want Green Cards, also prefer to have a real estate unit in the investment exit strategy. Chinese love real estate.
- Better (perceived) value or return with low risk – they expect good ROI and little risk!
What Are the Motivations to Invest Overseas?
- For the sake of their own children’s education, safety and future
- Protecting personal assets and family fortune
- Seeking permanent residency (Green Card) and new business opportunities in the U.S.
