Can the funds used to purchase real estate qualify as part of the required capital? Instead of leasing a space and paying rent, can I buy a commercial space, say for $500K, and use the rest of the $500K to buy inventory etc. and operate the business? Would this meet the $1 million requirement? The business will occupy and use the newly purchased commercial space. Technically, real Estate investment is also "at risk", as it can go up or down in value. So I am wondering if this qualifies.

The facts of your case seem to suggest that your personal investment will be in your own direct new business commercial enterprise. As long as the comprehensive business plan clearly states how the investment funds are going to be committed and lead to the creation of the required number of U.S. jobs.

Retaining EB-5 counsel, like our law firm, would help set up the project for compliance with EB-5 rules and regulations, but to also make it marketable to EB-5 investors. Experienced EB-5 attorneys like us also have strong relationships with sources of these investors.
