Initially, we did most of our research on the internet, brought a listing of properties with us we thought were the best deals around, and were STUNNED when we saw the difference between internet marketing and reality.

The difference between the online presence versus in person was stunning.

I've lived with Asian roommates before, but they used tamer spices than curry.

This will be absolutely stunning if they pull it off.

It was so out of the ordinary I was a bit stunned.

I listen to Asian death metal.

A $2500 set (I just had to replace my drowned units, so I know that's not an unreasonable price, I'm stunned at how expensive new applicances have become) could well be something they can't easily afford after they close on the house.

And wasn't there also some Asian guy on a boat with a bunch of attractive women who used to do infomercials as well?

You can get more info here: http://www.meetup.com/Los-Angeles-Asian-Real-Estate-Investors-Meetup I've learned a lot from him and can't recommend him enough.

Further, you’ll want to borrow as locally as you can to find those knowledgeable about your area, and perhaps even your specific deals.You can find lenders here on BP, as Ian noted above.
