This mistake probably reflects my anticipation of rising interest rates (although I believe it will be gradual)  when the Feds decide to begin raising the Fed Funds Rate.Given last week's news about China devaluing their currency and Wall Street's loss last week, it will be interesting to hear what the comes out of the September 16-17 meeting.

Well not a damn thing I can do about except buy more real estate with debt so I can take advantage of the destruction they are doing to the currency.  

It's actually not the home price that's increasing but home price is adjusting to the devaluation of currency and M1 cash.

The dirty little secret about the real estate investing business is that it's one of the many get-rich-quick schemes (along with MLM, stock trading, currency trading, etc).

We then convert currency via our FX account (which can pull/push funds from both our CAD and USD denominated accounts).

China cant just offload their Us Bonds, because they would simultaneously inflate their currency making exports a Lot more expensive.Plus there isn't anywhere to put the foreign cash reserves. 

If you watch the video I posted above it will speak to the conflagration in currency being coupled with our currency when it was ON THE GOLD STANDARD.

There are major tax incentives to open a business, invest, etc. into a foreign country, a well capitalized banking system, and a stable currency not financed by huge amounts of debt.11.

I don’t think real estate investors are responsible for the bubble it’s market conditions & clearly the true source is the Federal Reserve manipulating interest rates & printing fiat currency for a very long time.

Anyway I think you are missing their biggest rational which is their trying to avoid their own domestic currency risk
