Chinese are buying in the Inland Empire and they are holding and renting and they will pay more them most investors.Joe Gore

A nice chunk of it has come from Chinese buyers, especially younger folks with parent money.

A lot of Chinese and Indians are moving into these two neighborhoods.

Chinese companies were the biggest for that and I know a couple smaller outfits that would.

@Geoffrey Hoffman The house was build around that time, however, I don't think it's Chinese Drywall since the copper wire in the electrical outlet right next to the affected area looked fine.Good info @Colleen F.! 

I would recommend selling your portfolio through a residential broker that specializes in Chinese investors trying to get special visas OR sell them together to a real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in single-family housing.I know Seattle is hot right now, but doing them one by one is going to be a time and energy suck, but I am not an expert on Chinese single-family investors.I can help with a portfolio sale to REITs, which is going to be faster than selling piecemeal and you bypass paying a real estate agent's commission.

I will tell you the application will absolutely take longer than a minute and while we have closed in less than 3 weeks, it's truthfully like a Chinese fire drill to make sure all of the pieces to the puzzle will come together in that time frame.  

My competitive advantage is the cost of labor savings of Chinese vs US workers.

It is based on Chinese culture.

The Chinese banks are on the cusp of failure right now.
