But from my neighbors perspective (from my observations) it is like chinese water torture and he is just waiting for the next drop to come.

I asked the guy I was with  ( Chinese national)  and he said people come in from the frontier and have never used a shower and flood the rooms..

Meyers ( lehigh Acres) on brand new or near new constructed homes ( minus Chinese drywall) for 25 to 40k each.. these homes 5 years before were selling for 250k.. in my mind in that time in space.. that was probably one of the cheapest places in the first world to live.. brand new our near new home for 30k  US health fire and police.. 

I have been approached by a group of Chinese investors who want to fund commercial real estate deals that I am working on. 

Some Chinese just want capital preservation, me I would not invest in any deal that was not at least 20% cash on cash to ME... 

Chinese proverb: The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago.

Bank loans, bank accounts, brokerage accounts, IRAs, 401ks, car loans, insurance companies, cruise ships, credit cards, ez pass, doctors and hospitals, drivers licenses, colleges, high schools, not to forget gun shops, google, ATT, Verizon, Comcast, Amazon, airlines, CIA, IRS, FBI, TSA, Homeland security, Target and Home Depot data breaches, security clearances, car dealerships, title companies, accountant, employers, landlords, credit bureaus, payroll companies, golf and tennis clubs, business clubs, volunteers at schools/churches, Russians and Chinese, etc. it’s more of a question as to who doesn’t have it as I see it.

From what I know, the Chinese real estate market is really different than the USA market.

Houses were selling for 20% higher than list (or what they were worth), and cash buyers are predominantly from China- and they care much less about the value and much more about getting their money out of the unpredictable Chinese economy and into a "safe" space.

Cal. because a lot of what has been driving those price increases is Chinese investing in the West Coast.
