The response I got was (note I am the broker and the buyer on this property), you are getting a 40k commission on this property, the seller rejects your repair addendum.In all of my experience, having bought and sold about 20 fourplexes and 50 single family homes, I haven’t had seller straight reject a repair addendum and especially not one in this condition.One item of note is that the seller is either from China or is a Chinese-American.  

Hi, my name is Yuan and I'm from China.

With everything coming from China facing higher tariffs I am trying to see how that pans out before ordering everything but can't wait forever. 

@David Chin a word on your Brrrr strategy, make sure you are very confident in your rehab budget, and the area where you are buying.

Today is all about trade with China and if/until an agreement comes to fruition we'll have days like these from time to time. 

Rates went down yesterday after China’s currency announcement.

Hello Everyone,I am new to the real estate business and I'm just very curious what everyone thinks will happen to the US real estate market with this ongoing Trade War vs China. 

In late 2013 I was living on a small Taiwanese island just off the coast of China.

I have been living in China for over a decade.
