As someone who is living abroad.The world is rapidly changing, because we are becoming highly globalized.With the ability to fly almost anywhere within a 36 hour period.The internet is allowing me, living in Korea to write about this.My new smartphone is more powerful and has more hard drive space, (plus I think it's amazing) than my first computer.You concern that American real estate is going to become like the manufacturing sector is interesting, but nothing to fear.You job as an investor isn't being outsourced.Would you feel the same way if (insert big bank, BofA, etc) came in and bought all the properties?
