I came across this 5/4/2 3850sq ft home with Chinese drywall.

I had not heard of Chinese Drywall until today so far as I can remember.  

English litt, might help you write compelling marketing materials to find good properties; Anthropology may allow you to understand different cultural shifts in the housing markets; history could teach a lot of market timings in Real Estate.I studies Electrical Engineering and Economics, neither of which gives me advantages in Real Estate.

Sometimes they get new, factory-blemished items, scratch and dent appliances or "oops" paint.Alibaba.com or any Chinese supplier can provide inexpensive flat-pack (ready-to-assemble) cabinets for good prices, but you will wait weeks or months to get the products and if one thing is damaged or incorrect, you will wait weeks or months again.

What do you think the impact of foreign investors (especially Chinese investors) on the bay area RE during this coming recession/correction?

Any KW agents here that can provide some insight on the company (culture, training, support, etc.)?

The investing by over seas Chinese is unrelenting and has been happening for a long time.

If I wasn't so addicted to this southern culture, I'd pack up my bags tomorrow :) 

So many of my peers will run around creating this culture saying that it's worth refinancing every 6-10 months, which is instantly what I think of when I see "go refinance again" followed by three exclamation marks ("!!!")

I wonder if that's more of a regional business culture.
