Follow the Money Webinar: EB-5 Project Evaluation, Credit Market Signals, and Investor Protection

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

2:00pm – 3:00pm ET

Hosted via Zoom

EB-5 is about immigration, but in order to protect both your investment and your chances of permanent residency, you need to understand the financial structures used in EB-5 projects.

Most investors understand the necessity of EB-5 job creation and meeting application requirements. Far fewer know how to assess whether a project is financially sound and how they will actually get their money back. JTC’s latest webinar covers the questions that matter when considering an EB-5 project, broken down into three key areas: investing, deployment, and return of capital.

1. Beyond the immigration checklist: how to evaluate an EB-5 project’s viability

When looking at an EB-5 project, investors don’t just need to ask about immigration milestones or job creation. Is there a committed senior lender? Where does EB-5 sit in the capital stack? Is the sponsor putting in meaningful equity? We explain the differences between the loan and equity models and why the strength of a project’s non-EB-5 capital is often the best indicator of whether it gets built and repays investors.

2. Following the money: fund administration, escrow, and tracking flow of funds

Understanding where your capital is deployed, what stage the project is at, and what milestones have been met are critical components not only of EB-5, but of any real estate investment. We’ll take a look at the behind-the-scenes safeguards most investors never think to ask about (but should), including escrow, fund administration, cosignatory, flow of funds, audit protection, and immigration workflow.

3. Reading the credit markets: what’s happening in lending and why it matters for how you get repaid

EB-5 projects need a clear, well-defined repayment plan so investors can understand the source and timing of how their capital is returned, whether through a refinance, a takeout loan, or a sale of the project. Understanding credit markets is understanding your exit, so the panel will take a frank look at today’s financing environment, where senior lending stands, and how tighter credit conditions are reshaping deal structures.

Our panel of seasoned EB-5 veterans will cover these topics and more at our September 9 webinar, which is free to attend. Sign up today and tell anyone interested in EB-5 about this great chance to learn from people in the know about what makes a project viable from a financial and immigration standpoint.
