Detroit is a ghost town because of off-shoring not tax hikes.

., @Joe Fairless CBRE Research had an update end of last month on Asian offshore/cross-border investments:Asian outbound CRE investment grew by 8.9% during Q2 2015, to US$10B.Intra-regional CRE investment declined by 40%, YOY, reflecting Asia's challenging investment conditions.China remains the largest source of Asian capital, while the US has just surpassed the UK and the top destination.While New York remains Asian CRE investor's top US city, Boston, DC, Seattle and Los Angeles have captured a ~40% share of their US investment capital so far in 2015Asian capital flows into the Pacific have increased 63% in the past year.Taiwanese buyers are on track to nearly triple their 2014 overseas investment volume.H1 2015 saw 30% of Asian outbound CRE investment go to hotels.Our private equity clients with Asian investor backing are searching for two different opportunity sets depending on the investors' prior experience with CRE in the US: Those new to the market want the gateway city trophy asset, but those who've invested here before tend to be more willing to branch out and invest in opportunities with more upside, say value ad deals in secondary markets.Good hunting-P.S.

I work offshore..

I built and fly a small experimental airplane, fish off shore in my kayak, and my new hobby is kite boarding. 

Greed makes you stupid  Your money will be in some off shore account before you know it   -----

Are there any offshore angles:- Is there potential for overseas sales or operations?

google Ingrid Robinson  Remington financial American Greed.this version these are off shore crooks or if they are here you will NEVER find them.. you can file a complaint with the AG's office is probably all you can do.. but to spend money on an attorney I pretty much guarantee you will just be more money down the drain. 

The guy is either in the Eastern block the Caribbean  middle east or AFrica.. those stolen wires bounce into those accounts and are off shore in a matter of minutes.. 

All attempts at make believe transferring control - such as using "a protector" or moving the trust 'off shore' have not stood the test of time.  

There is billions and billions of offshore money in RE in the USA.
