This global mentality shift in asset values will lead to a paradigm shift where the world no longer wants paper fiat currency.

I would have been in a much better position had I already closed on the property - I made an error in visiting the property and talking with the tenants pre-close (tenant alerted owner in a foreign country).

If you break down on the road would you rather have some foreign car thats hard to get parts or my crn vic that could be repaired the very next day?

Capital in the form of currency and bonds that are burying us right now is the bubble.

I am only amazed as most foreign buyers either come to us from an affiliate or hey find turn key companies so if you found a client through marketing that is great.

Everybody speaks English and the official currency is the US Dollar, so there is no exchange rate.

The rest aren't even in the statistics because they are foreign buyers (I think I heard up to 20-30% of transactions in SF or Bay..) 

I spent $200K cash in 9 months because I was "promised" a $1M fee for being the middle-man in trading historical currency, as well as a $15M line of credit to finance my other businesses (I also had a music development company and traded stock options online). 

However, do we need to consider the currency exchange or are there any other fees we will have to pay from transferring this from Canadian account to American Account?

After all, we have been getting more dependent on foreign oil every year for the last 40 years.
