@Charles ChangI too have used a lot of referrals from people on BP and haven't been disappointed. to answer your questions 1.

then I went to Singapore and same thing met with investors of mine there etc etc.Now I went to Israel in November but I did not write that off as It was a personal family trip.. but if I look at real estate I write it off. 

I live in Singapore and will be traveling to Austin next week to do the closing.

I think we are going to come on the market at 1.95  exicted about it.. we put an elevator in it..I was in a client of mine in Singapores home in Feb and he had an elevator in his 3 story home .. ( and a single family detached non lease hold home in Singapore is some big buckaroos.. but anyway it was glass like a hotel kind of cool.I was also toying with a Tesla solar roof and power wall if I could get that by the BAR.. probably not though .. lets just keep this market going for a few more years please.. :)

However I just got in tonight from 10 days in Hawaii.. and Scoot  ( Singapore airlines budget carrier) was advertising business class from PHNL to Osaka for 495. bucks and 99. one way coach.. that is a smoking deal.. my buddy and I almost wanted to fly there for dinner LOL..

I come from Singapore which is a similar market and was I glad to buy there what I could afford coz I've netted some significant appreciation before there's a slight adjustment.

I live in Singapore, so I won’t be going to do a buyer walkthrough.

I'm an American living in Singapore.

For example, did he really meet a young lady in Singapore who got up angrily from an interview when he suggested she take a marketing course?
