(Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and not giving legal advice.)Ken if your logic held true then why do we have a real estate industry at all.. why is there a department of Real Estate in EACH of our great states. .and why do we license people.If it was as you described it would be just like China were anyone can do anything they wish regarding RE...

I like China.

I'm originally from China, and just moved to Charlotte, NC area a year ago, where I first met my husband during a business trip.

As long as our government keeps a $18 trillion dollar deficit as as along as global deflation from China and the third world keeps interest rates at historic lows, real estate will keep being a boom and bust in Seattle.

These things are everywhere in China for example.

It actually came from China who gave the best terms- which means that we have to file Form BE-13 with the Government.  

Lets think about it, it has to be a reason China  and others are buying up Detroit.

Try doing RE in China or N.

The story of Affordable housing is so true even here in Zimbabwe.There are more low-moderate income earners seeking houses to fulfill their home ownerships dreams.Even in America, the mobile homes and some of the apartment unit types fit into the low-medium income earners catergory.Real estate is a BIG sector, just keep learning and serving.One show on CNBC, if i recall correctly showed a third of GDP worth of Property transaction in 2016 for China .Property was a way inflation first filters through the economy

Though good news is from what I know, the 40' container price is decreasing in last 2 weeks, from China to LA port, it decreases from ~$25000/container to ~$20000/container.I was even thinking if they can just push back my construction because I'm not in a rush lol.
