Kindle giveaway: How I Bought 5 U.S. Properties Before Becoming a Citizen — Lessons I Learned the Hard Way

[Mark]

I’m Mark Yu — an immigrant investor who landed in the U.S. with two suitcases, a borrowed laptop, and no idea how the system worked.

A few years (and a lot of rejections) later, I’d closed five investment properties before even becoming a U.S. citizen.

My book, How I Bought Five Properties Before Becoming a U.S. Citizen – The Do’s and Don’ts of Building an American Real Estate Empire as a Millennial Migrant, pulls back the curtain on that journey — from the banks that ghosted me to the deals that nearly collapsed, and the creative hacks that finally worked.

Here’s what you’ll discover inside:
• How to buy U.S. real estate legally without a green card or long credit history
• How immigrant families can turn “visa uncertainty” into leverage and motivation
• Why shifting from hustling for rent to hustling for ownership changes everything

I’d love to hear from you:
👉 What’s been your toughest mental or financial barrier to owning property?

I’ll reply to every comment — I’m fascinated by how each of us defines the American Dream in our own way.
