The majority of over 1 billion dollars in invested were made mostly by Chinese insurance companies.

Comparing Chinese Toys to German Toys is like comparing Chinese Beer to German Beer, it is not like a newbie landlord compared to someone managing thousands of houses.The TRUTH here is that someone who has scanned thousands of credit reports will know MORE about a potential tenant, in ten seconds than Joe Landlord will after studying a credit report for an HOUR.

Hey Jon,Jackie & I used to be in the Chinese Restaurant business.

I have had some business dealings with the Chinese in the past and dealing with tenants is exactly like dealing with the Chinese.

A few Hispanics maybe 10 Chinese,, a few Japanese ( my best friend was Japanese) then I would go to your fair town and I learned about segregation on steroids.

Do you know why the Chinese purchase US bonds?
