In Florida we have the famous "chinese drywall" houses.

However, we have have dozens of flips over the last few months with Chinese investors.

To classify something as worthless just because it fits a certain profile (college, conservative, Chinese) is shortsighted.  

I help Chinese, Russian, and Israeli investors in my town. 

Everyone knows that cash is king, and it is undeniable that these small chinese shops popping up is killing the market, but they need cash before they "order" the items from china, how do you beat that or how do you mitigate that or better yet, how do you ride with the flow?

At the same time I am somewhat confused to why chinese investors are buying up property throughout the untied states?

We are based in China and have been dealing with a few thousand Chinese investors looking at the US real estate market.

I did business with one guy that was Chinese and had an Australian accent.

Out of the callers I've gotten almost all of them have been calling for Chinese investors.
