Gold Card Visas Could Accelerate US Real Estate Investments In 2025
New Gold Card Visas aim to attract trillions of dollars in foreign investment into the US this year. Much of that could end up in US real estate.
Golden Visas
Among many other changes, the new administration is floating a new Gold Card Visa. The program offers foreign investors a way into the US, with legal residency, with a $5M investment. A big increase from the $1M required for an old EB5 visa.
The government is posing this as a fast way to boost revenues, pay off national debt, and bring in trillions of dollars in a short period of time.
The anticipation is that the side effects will include significant job creation, and fuel the overall economy.
It’s a common concept around the world, and Newsweek reported the program already had 250,000 applicants before even officially launching.
Opening The Golden Gates For Wealthy Investors
Where will these thousands of individuals invest their capital in the US?
They will need residences and ventures to put their money to work in. As far as living in and acquiring second homes in the US, our most famous gateway cities and states are the most obvious choice for wealthy internationals.
Real estate in general is an obvious choice for investing directly and through various types of businesses and holding companies.
This is likely to be made even more attractive this year with the hope of lower taxes following major budget cuts, fewer regulations, and a friendlier environment for businesses and investors. One which offers the expectation of more security for investors than in the past few years.
Egg Prices Are Still High
More faith in the economy this year, and a crackdown on federal funds and subsidies for many programs also mean that consumer prices aren’t likely to go down much. Many lower income earners may find it harder to make ends meet this year, and affordable housing even tougher to secure.
While some may benefit from a stronger employment environment, the need for affordable rental housing may only grow in the months ahead.
