I am American (www.gg.gg/PAFresume is me) live in China, and am looking at buying several pieces of property in the USA.BACKGROUND:I was thinking CT (my mom is there) but she's too old to help take care of anything I buy... so I'll end up with a property management company handling them.

From a China perspective, Seattle has become one of the cities that has seen most of the inquiries through our platform.  

I'm sorry but a $5 window treatment made in China is going to break a lot sooner than something more expensive made in America.

The stock market is down 2,200 points in the last 10 days, there was a negative -1.4 growth for last quarter, recession is pending, ships are stalled in China because they have locked down the city and can't load, the auto industry can't get computer chips to finish cars, mortgage rates are up, fertilizer isn't shipping and this is the planting season so there are going to be food shortages, Wells Fargo laid off 550 mortgage lenders which means lending is tightening, Deutche Bank is being investigated for money laundering and food processing plants are mysteriously catching fire.Doing pretty well myself, how about you?

Depending also what happens overseas, you may see more foreign buyers getting back into the mix like from China who was buying up real estate like there was no tomorrow a decade ago.

He didn't work either but he got rental income $4000/month (from china).

Well, no plumbing and the bankruptcy of the two largest builders in China doesn't make for "safe" housing.Evergrande’s bankruptcy may be just the beginning of China’s real estate crisis , Fri August 18, 2023https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/18/investing/china-evergrande-ba...But I though Chinawas invincible?

@Christopher Penaflor noticed when I made $1500 on a commission as a RE agent and my client made $40k on the transaction and then went to Europe or China for a month while I kept slaving away I knew I was on the wrong side of the transaction. 

Do you mean here or in China?

I have visited China, Thailand,  Japan, Canada, Mexico, Germany, and even lived in the Philippines for almost a year.
