EB-5 Programs
The United States, through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS"), offers a special preference of visa ("EB-5 visa") to foreign investors who provide stimulus to the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment. The program requires that each participant invests a minimum of $1,000,000 generally, or $500,000 into qualifying areas, and creates 10 full-time jobs.
The LCP Group invests and finances in commercial real estate development throughout the United States through its EB-5 Programs. Typically, LCP acts as the general partner of a syndicate of foreign investors seeking permanent residency in the United States through the Immigrant Investor Program. Through each partnership, LCP offers below market rate senior debt, subordinated debt, and preferred equity to borrowers. LCP and its partners have founded two marketing and immigration services firms, Live in America Financial Services and Reside in America Puerto Rico to service the EB-5 marketplace.
Borrowers looking for EB-5 investments or financing should contact The LCP Group directly.
