The US Virgin Islands consists of three major and inhabited islands, and numerous small rocks and islands that are largely uninhabited. St. Thomas and St. John are the best known of the three, but St. Croix, which lies 40 miles to the south, is the largest.
The U.S. Virgin Islands, as opposed to the British Virgin Islands, are protected by the U.S. Constitution. Our laws regarding Real Estate protect you as an owner just as they would in the United States. You wont need a "local" partner, nor a license, nor a trustee to own your condo, home, or plot of land, or to have a business.
