When people go under water, they try to sell their under performing assets, then they try to sell their good assets to keep their homes (Assets in America owned by Chinese investors).

In fact, I believe --- My grandkids, and your grandkids will be under Chinese control!

How will Chinese billionaires, wanting to get money out of China before the yuan devalues, effect the price of a duplex in LA?  

There is really nothing you can do about drunk people yelling outside your building at midnight.Today, I was trying to rent a 3 bedroom apartment in Lincoln Park and the biggest complaint is that it is above a nicely updated Chinese restaurant. -- I don't know if the renters were concerned about smell or noise but it definitely turned them away and I decided to drop that listing because its going to be too difficult to rent.As far as resale, I think that an accounting office, etc is much more easy to manage and buyers will appreciate that they won't need to deal with the higher rental turnover that a restaurant or bar would bring. -- Lastly, restaurants and bars can have a hard time staying in business and once that build-out is complete, you are sort of stuck with it.      

I would love to continue a conversation about lease options and seller financing, since I'm in the process of gathering German and Chinese private investors to create and lead a real estate acquisitions company fund to invest into US multiplexes.

Inside the house you attach the cable to the new flex line with a gadget the plumber called a Chinese something.

Replacement toilet if it'sYa Chinese cheapo.

I am considering buying a house with chinese drywall.  

It's like going to start a small business in china without speaking Chinese.

(We both plan to continue to own more cashflow duplex together in the coming years, and down the road even consider selling them to our Chinese counterparts/investors so we will try creating some sort of cookie-cutter from this).
