How do people from Europe manage to live in Miami?

No, there is no visa advantage to be gained simply by buying a normal house or condo (unless it is an entire large building that generates several jobs, see below)

We discussed this in another thread recently. I am repeating what I posted there as this question comes up every so often. The original discussion is at Ready for the move!

RK - Is the primary reason he have all those Korean nail salons, Arab owned gas stations and the Patel Motel Cartel ?

You forgot the Pakistani Seven Elevens. But I see you are in the know in the motel biz.

The answer is actually no, the businesses mentioned are popular with Asians for the opposite reason, they cost well under the $1 mil threshold to get the entrepreneur green card. They require low capital investment, so naturally popular with people who are newcomers and don't mind working their way up. In almost all cases the owner/operators are here on a relative-sponsored visa, usually brother/sister and in some cases overstaying tourist or other visas.
