I mean, let's say, they've owned it for 6 months, and find out that Chinese drywall was used.

Showing your children other cultures and teaching them the concept of being a world citizen builds compassion and understanding.

It's definitely a culture shock.

Office & Commercial may do 4%-6%3, Most importantly, as a foreign national, you are NOT allowed to buy in China, unless you have a 2yr plus contract to prove to the government that the property you buying is for your own residence, and you will only get a maximum of 5yrs mortgage. 4, I am a Chinese citizen and I am not even allowed to buy in Shanghai unless I have shanghai residency or been working in Shanghai full time for minimum one year, and I am not allowed to by maximum of 2 properties in my own city, Shenzhen.

Born and raised in San Diego I'm sure the weather will be a complete culture shock but I'm ready for it!

One thing I haven't written much of here but I spend a lot of time thinking about is that in addition to the simple, painful fact that there is a very limited supply and a very high demand for good people to fix houses, there's a quiet but very powerful culture clash taking place between many would-be real estate investors and many contractors/handymen/tradesmen.

No amount of success stories, no number of impossible situations that Agents are not equipped to handle, no logical attack on flawed equity stripping logic or questioning if I was "ethically" obligated to offer top dollar (I'm not, you're not, heck, they don't even do it in retail) could slake the hate or turn the tide of an entrenched culture.

And they are culturally appropriate to our prospects.
