  1. Visas aren’t permanent. My best friend renewed his H1B, ran through that renewal, and had to spend a year out of the country to reapply (all while in line for a green card) 2. Given the finite nature of real estate, especially in metro areas, (vacant) investment property harms the residents Counterpoint: at least in AZ there is a tax for foreign buyers.
