(My ex wife is from China, so one time, we decide that she wants me to go to China and I decided instead of working, I go to school and get my MBA) I can speak in Chinese.

I am well traveled and very culturally experienced and am a dedicated sales and marketing professional who exceeds goals, retains customers and maintains a strong reputation for customer satisfaction.With all that said, I am looking to understand the US market for both professional and personal reasons. 

And that one risk, is the same one that landed me a job with a local investment bank when I penned a letter directly to the chairman of the board ripping apart his old school view on education after an interview that aired on public television.April 2010: After rising thru the ranks at the bank, I realized the investment banking culture was too cutthroat, and simply not right for me. 

At this point, I am prepared to invest $30-40k for a downpayment and torn between and still learning about 3 options - rehab/flip in San Diego, turnkey cashflow investment in Chicago/Indiana, Out of state rehab/flip.This is really an incredible forum looking at the "ready to share knowledge" culture which further emphasizes in my mind that real estate is really not a zero sum game...I look forward to connecting with folks here...

The owner, Chris, is phenomenal and if it weren't for the way he views customer service and the culture of the company I'm not sure I'd have taken a position in this field.  

Chinese investors are buying up properties and both residential deals and commercial deals are a bit over priced from my perspective. http://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/first-come-first-served-renting-will-hurt-landlords-renters/

Of course, being near Nashville is great for people who love a city with a unique identity, innovation and entrepreneurship, culture, music, food, art, nature, etc, etc.It's more challenging to find good deals in the city now, as it has been a really hot market, but there are still deals to be found a little farther out.Congrats on taking bold steps to improve your life!

It's so culturally diverse and rich community.  

The city of South Bend, population 101,190, is the economic and cultural hub of a multi-county, bi-state greater region, population 858,055 (seven counties), with a labor force of 415,426.

If you are Chinese and have money there are limited investment opportunity's.
