@Yonah WeissI have a Bachelor's Degree in Financial Accounting and a MBA in Global Management.

China has long been a leader of global economic growth, but is slowing to a near 30-year low of 6.2% in 2019 despite the Chinese government's quantitative easing.

I wasn't around during the Great Depression or WWII (and I assume neither were you), but I seem to recall from my MBA economics classes that quite a bit of Keynesian policy was used to pull us out of the first and generate an abundant global economy during the second.

Because of the clients you may find in the previous post have global experience anyways, English is sometimes a better more precise communication.

How much have you heard about the big global warming myth since the economy started to crash?

Originally posted by Mike M: So just plan for the expenses, you will feel much better.I like this philosophy because if I sell a property after any length of time and still have that expense dough I'm a dad-gum genius.OTOH, if I need that money for expenses and have already set it aside and accounted for it in my returns I'm still kinda smart.

Nothing is more important than keeping the planet cool (stopping global warming), and that certainly includes allowing people to breathe!

I don't know how the election or global instability play a role.

Then there is the very, very tiny percentage that actually turn the corner, hit a long term global low in prices, the governing supply/demand dynamics that have held the market down so long suddenly fundamentally changes and successfully transition to appreciation over the long haul, and you as the psychic emerging market real estate investor somehow see it coming and get in before the crowd; that's the elusive unicorn you're hunting, no? 

This is kind of a "Global" economy issue for PR, not related to REI where an individual got foreclose and they have to sell the property at whatever the bank can afford and then buyers can offer to buy property so the bank don't loose money.
