Vegas could nearly be cosidered a desert suburb of SoCal in a travel and cultural sense.

From my comfy armchair, I can see how today’s situation in Kiev - far enough removed from the war areas, and being the economic and cultural center - could be attractive to those who know their way around the local bureaucracy to not have to pay an “overhead” under the table at every turn.I can see how the deeply devalued Ukrainian currency can make the purchase potentially even more attractive.

I also interviewed the CEO of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust(One of the largest RE holders in Pittsburgh) one on one.

But I was wrong---investors (mostly Chinese) accepted lower cap rates or cash on cash return, speculating on appreciation---and the first-time homebuyers just put more down.Maybe now is not the time to try and flip a house right next to the railroad tracks---but I think we still have a few years left of growth before it stabilizes.

My wife is Chinese.

It will be interesting to see if Trump does a complete turn around.In the last 24 hours the Chinese have made it clear how hard they will play. 

Since I live and do business in China many Chinese have approached me about US REI.
