Whether you plan to immigrate to the US, enjoy your holiday there, or simply desire to invest in promising properties, Arizona, and particularly Scottsdale in the Phoenix metropolitan area, is the perfect place to buy your US property.  Maricopa County, the county in which Scottsdale resides, has the fastest growing population in the US.  The warm, dry climate, free of hurricanes and other natural disasters, attracts tourists, "winter visitors," and people migrating from all over the world.  To learn more about property opportunities in the US, go to http://www.realestateworldwide.com, or email Mike Ten Eyck at mteneyck@reww.com. 

Selling a residence in the U.K. is a tax free event.  However, in the U.S., buying and selling a residence or home is complex and heavily taxed to Non-Resident Foreign Individuals if not well thought out and plans implemented prior to any purchase. Taxes can run as high as 40% of your gross sales price and substantial penalties for failing to make complicated filings with the State and Federal Government.  Competent legal help can make this whole process easy and affordable.  Contact Mike Ten Eyck at mteneyck@reww.com for more information.

U.K. Nationals, who become American home owners, have the potential to obtain 180 day extensions on their U.S. visas and adjustments to an E Visa with investor status.  With an E Visa, the wife is allowed to obtain a work-permit which can then be adjusted to a Green Card.  The Green Card, Permanent Visa, then permits the U.K. Nationals to stay within the U.S. on a permanent basis and the ability to obtain gainful employment.  Contact Mike Ten Eyck at mteneyck@reww.com for more information.
