I agree with Bishoy,job growth and steady large employers are key to determining a healthy rental area.Indianapolis,Memphis and Dallas are great because they have affordable properties to buy to rent to steady employees like truck drivers,FedEx,UPS,and air cargo employees whose jobs aren't being shipped to China or anywhere else.Alabama has car and aircraft manufacturers growing and moving in there.North Carolina has techies escaping the high cost of California.God knows everybody is looking to move to Texas for manufacturing what little we still make in America.Georgia has become one of the biggest areas for filming Hollywood movies cheaper.That is where my money is headed in the next 3 years of buying properties.

I have completed many loans for customers working for Microsoft in China and D.O.D. in Japan and I've never had that issue.

The fate of the commodities boom (and now bubble) is inextricably tied to China’s teetering charlatan economy and this has single-handedly kept Canada from falling into the deep abyss such as the US and much of Europe experienced in the Great recession.I second @Bayard P.'

For my opinion, try to get a right person who has good connection in China side.
