This is from my experience as a backpacker who been to 30 countries in my 20's I have lived in Singapore, Tokyo, New York, Portland, LA, Bay Area now.

We as a country need to watch out though because there is a staggering amount that is also originating in places like Singapore, India, China and Australia. 

@Steven ChangI am really impressed with your plan that you have laid out.  

Hae-Yuan Chang I would use an insurance agent.

(LEH) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday in New York, listing debts of $613 billion and naming as unsecured creditors owed hundreds of millions of dollars banks from Tokyo, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore and Taipei, among others.

Countries like Singapore, Dubai, Philippines and Australia adopt this system and i was wondering, is there anyone here know how to invest in these type of property by increasing its value through income & expenses because unlike the USA Apartment, the building can be owned by a single individual instead of a piece of the building?

kind of like the bathrooms I see in Singapore.. all tiled step down an inch and there is a hose bib.. they just hose them out. 

@Jay Chang I have a video on this on my YouTube channel you are welcome to check out (not sure I am allowed to post here).  

(Especially if one lives in Singapore, as I did!)

Although most every country has some issues of some sort no place is perfect except maybe Singapore PS as a young agent I flew to Hong Kong to meet with some Asian investors  Circa 1982 ish  and it was amazing although I had many transactions under my belt i was still very green to the world of high finance etc..
