When I did PM, there was a Chinese restaurant in one of our buildings.  

We have Chinese buyers purchasing in volume up the road from me here in Texas.   

And yes, I'm fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

I speak six languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, and a little bit of Hindi.I started learning real estate investment since I was very young, learning from my father who invested in real estate across the world. 

So the only way to send the money is to put for example 4000 dollars into my Chinese friend bank of China account and then he will send from his Bank of China to my Bank of America.

I am against cheap junk imported Chinese cabinets?

That has just about same warranty as Chinese cell phones - 3 seconds or three steps out of store whichever comes first.

Because that is probably the most challenging part of the deal, and a prerequisite for most lenders;It is a very expensive and quite lenghty process, at least here in los angelesFinding lenders doesn't seem to be that difficult if your project makes sense and generates a reasonable margin; i have been talking to a few local chinese banks and hard lenders and i have yet to see how it will go; but the difficult part is to find a good deal 

A stronger American dollar has hurt foreign investment (says most new luxury buyers are Americans, over the Chinese/Russian/Brazilian majority from a couple years ago), developments that used to pre-sell are not doing so as rapidly, and you have a lot coming on line Downtown, LIC, Downtown BK, and in Midtown.

In reality, this stuff is like Chinese to me.
