If you are going to put out higher levels of capital obviously to invest than the amount of the donation, then you are going to wait however long they make you wait to potentially unload it. Then you are going to face liquidity issues and what if the citizenship changes the rules making it less expensive. Thank what you spent you are stuck with the RealEstate. You bought it at 300k, and now only 200k; who’s going to buy for 300k?

What you are buying for citizenship and what you are buying for live in. Citizenship for citizenship sake lifestyle for lifestyle sake.

Wouldn’t you rather look at the time value of money and say rather than investing 300k I’m going to donate 100k and be done with it and know my liability is limited.
