One caveat is that there is too much money flowing from China.

I am in China now and only have a Chinese cell number.

They are ubiquitous in the SF Bay area but likely because the the shipping is easier from China and there are many Chinese Americans in the area. 

At International solar show since last year most visitors are from middle east, China. 

For the past three years, I've made a career in China acting in Chinese T.V. shows and movies.

Friday's employment, or should I say unemployment and jobs growth outlook coupled with the FED's inevitbale interest rate hike looming, problems with China's economy, the EU, South America and elsewhere including the USA is worrisome at best.Lot's of major players are moving into cash as well and that should be a very good sign that it might be time to play it safe, stay in cash and get ready for the next feeding frenzy and there will be one I strongly believe. 

Thanks Wale, I have traveled the world, even lived in China for a stint.

@Lynnie Murray  We are seeing a lot of investors acquiring US real estate while being overseas, Actually we are based here in China and it is the trend to buy remotely.

.#3 For the most part we do not have restrictions for non-residents to buy property unless you are from China, Iran, North Korea and places like that...maybe 6 countries restricted now.#4 Plenty of challenges though...probably need a bank account which you will probably need to open in person. 

‘It’s the same with foreign investors….China doesn’t have pension accounts, real estate busted there recently, do people with money buy up everything in North America without site seen.
