Hunter,
I will be arriving in Astana on the 4th. Marat and I have meetings there and should be traveling to Almaty around the 8th. My return flight to the U.S. from Almaty is on the 11th.  We will make ourselves available if your connections are interested in meeting us. 

We are in discussion with Marat's contacts regarding the terms on a 2 year loan used to develop parcels of entitled land in LA. There are 4 separate projects. The initial investors will be taken out with EB-5 capital once each project is approved by USCIS. 

We attended the most recent Las Vegas EB-5 conference and the consensus implied that the USCIS approval process has stretched to 13 months. Our lawyer seems to think we can accomplish approval quicker, but we gave ourselves a large margin of safety reflected in the length of the loan coming from the initial investors.  Once the initial investors are taken out, they will enjoy an equity stake in their project as well. We aim to monetize the asset(s) immediately after stabilization. 

Right now we have 4 projects total, all multifamily builds. Each project cost ranges from $20M-$50M. We would like to capitalize them all. 

Let me know if you need more explanation and I'll gladly provide.
