Hi to ALL Bigger Pockets Members...Does anyone know...Is there a reference place / book for the rules around a Chinese National buying property, for cash, in the USA for investment?

I can find top-tier manufacture with cUPC certification to send us a container over(I’m a Chinese of course, I was in import-export business before I came to the States to have my MBA at Notre Dame).

Have you heard of chinese drywall?

Hundreds of Chinese (I think it was their New Year) and tons of Europeans since it is relatively close,Of the 107 countries I've now visited, this was undoubtedly the richest and probably the most fascinating to me.

Get a loan officer you feel comfortable with and who you trust - they can help you with pre approvals, situations etc Unless you plan on locking that day - whats the point as not only do rates change everyday (sometimes more than once) They can tell you anything...honestly most LO's left in the biz are going to try and help you...better to have a trusted advisor.....rates especially non fha loans are like chinese arithmetic these days - the price adjustments can vary greatly.

Now to get a pump , HD sells a chinese pump , but I want a goulds pump so I run to the well supply house .  

I guess if I was a Russian or a Chinese with $6m on hand that would be a good investment.

As the Chinese are apt to say, may you live in interesting times!

The computer boards and drives that go into your computers, phones, submarines, airplanes, power grid and on and on all are manufactured by the Chinese with the Chinese military holding the largest stake in the companies.

An old Chinese investor who owns about 1000 apartment units and 30 or so single family homes called me in to value his largest apartment complex in Dallas.
