Michael Tan
Compliance Reviewer · Tax & Visa
Compliance reviewer for all Miami House Market editorial content. Background in US-China cross-border tax, FIRPTA structuring, and EB-5 investor visa documentation.
Michael is the reviewer, the person who reads a draft before it goes live and asks the awkward questions. His area is the cross-border tax and visa machinery that sits under a Miami purchase: FIRPTA structuring, US-China reporting, and the EB-5 investor visa paperwork that trips up more buyers than any headline price ever does. If a claim about a threshold or a filing deadline cannot be sourced, it does not get published.
He treats the 2026 EB-5 numbers and the FIRPTA percentages as moving targets, because they are, and he flags anything that reads as settled when it is not. One boundary stays fixed. Michael is not a licensed broker, attorney, or CPA, and nothing he reviews is meant to replace advice from one. The value he adds is a second set of eyes that has seen where these deals go wrong.
