Chinese Investments In US Commercial Property Soar By 500%, How can I get me some of that?

[Justin B.]

Is there a way to link up with Chinese investors here on BP? Hoping Brandon will chime in here...

Investors from multi-billion dollar hedge funds to individuals buying as few as 10 properties have acquired more than 1 million homes across the U.S. in the past three years, transforming a mom-and-pop business into one of Wall Street's hottest investments. As we noted here, Blackstone Group LP alone has acquired more than 40,000 properties in 14 cities to become the largest single-family landlord in the country. As Bloomberg notes, the new landlords are transforming the way Americans live and accumulate wealth. But while Wall Street is becoming America's largest residential landlord, it appears China wants to get paid for commercial properties... and Detroit.

@Justin B. Homework assignment for you. Find all the Asian-sounding names or corporations in all the Reg-D filings related to SFR investments in wall street hedge funds (or REITs) like Blackstone, AH4R, etc. Have you seen any? LOL!!

So "Wall Street is becoming America's largest residential landlord." And with apartment REITs they weren't already?
