Several EB-5 approved projects are spread all over the United States under the Employment based Visa scheme. These aim to bring back cutting-edge to the economy and bring-in fresh entrepreneurial skills, as well as the investments. Most of the programs are based in the economically backward areas. But there are still some projects being run in the non-target employment areas.

The said projects can be either on the “Individual basis” or through a designated “Regional unit”, and may vary in the nature. You have a choice to make the investment in either “Loan Model” or the “Equity Model”. There are several options and investment opportunities, and you could opt to invest in an ongoing business, or start a new enterprise. Both options are available across all the avenues of investment.

Real estate and land re-development or commercial development projects are located in specific major cities, and involve re-development of the old land installations, with low or negligible returns, like old military bases, airstrips and warehouses. These are re-developed into high return investment venues, such as office space, retail shops, and commercial malls.

You can invest as a limited partner and get regular rents even as you avail the appreciation of the value of the developed project. In such a venture, you co-own the land rented to businesses.  You have the flexibility to replace tenants, thereby helping you to meet the job creation criteria.
One of the options in Projects in EB-5 offers a lucrative alternative of hotel projects that have a prospect of giving long-term returns. These are not always in the targeted areas and could require $1,000,000 level investment.

You could invest into or start manufacturing a unit of metal and steel ancillary equipment for aerospace industry. This is a good probable, as it can directly create jobs and win substantial attention of the concerned body. It has all the tenets of producing visible benefits for the local as well as the national economy.

There are unlimited alternatives for investments in limited partnerships that finance businesses on low interest rates, which are mostly located in scheduled major cities and centers. The prime objective of such projects is to provide impetus to development of industrial sectors that have the potential for generating rich dividends, in the form of employment, growth and stimulating returns on investments. The regional center emphasizes in financing projects and developing enterprise in the listed sectors, under the EB-5 Projects; for e.g.; hospitality, tourism, leisure, technology, higher education, and logistics.
