Do you want to do business in the United States? Do you want to become a permanent resident? Do you wish to invest your capital and keep it safe?
Alejandro Dabdoub began investing in the United States more than 20 years ago. Today, in his book “Winning: The Art of Becoming an American Investor,” he reveals the process that he followed in order to succeed, as well as all the things he would have liked to have known beforehand to avoid wasting time, money and opportunities.
He explains why you should invest in the United States and in which areas and industries; the importance of maintaining good immigration status; the legal issues to be considered; how banks work; and even such complicated topics as probate and death taxes.
The book is easy to understand using common language and answering frequently asked questions. Dabdoub provides guidelines to achieve investment goals in the U.S. The book is like having your own experienced advisor share his best advice and tactics—without the hourly charges.
Dabdoub begins his book by identifying the advantages of investing capital in the U.S.; however, he also clearly warns that the opportunities and challenges are different in each of the 50 states, and each require a specific strategy.
Likewise, he provides information about any potential regulatory and bureaucratic obstacles and how to get over those hurdles unscathed, in the shortest amount of time possible, and with good practices without overspending on lawyers and advisors.
Dabdoub details examples of situations that he, himself, went through in the process of becoming a successful investor. The book includes instruction and exercises, including case studies that can be adapted to your own projects. Some of those are: safe visas to invest in the United States; the types of companies in which you can invest your money safely; the essential members in a work team; the investment criteria; and the different analyses to use to determine if a project or company is viable.
Dabdoub also discusses the existing conditions due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and where the real estate industry is headed.
Finally, the author includes a questionnaire that helps you to do your own analysis to determine if you are ready to take the next step in your investment growth and if you have the necessary resources to do so.
