During the quarter, Chinese investors purchased only $126.2 million in commercial real estate.https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinese-real-estate-i...

Even with all of that, I watch what the Chinese economy is doing and I watch Fed Interest rates and the Russell 3000.

There are trainloads of Japanese, Chinese, Middle East and Russian money finding its way into the US RE market, and that has a domino effect - global money tends towards the elite locations - SF, NYC, etc - and that pushes some of that money inland, and so on.

I used to have a ton of Chinese buyers who believe in certain "lucky" numbers, and who am I to tell them what to offer?? 

But I was wrong---investors (mostly Chinese) accepted lower cap rates or cash on cash return, speculating on appreciation---and the first-time homebuyers just put more down.Maybe now is not the time to try and flip a house right next to the railroad tracks---but I think we still have a few years left of growth before it stabilizes.

My wife is Chinese. 

Hi all,I have been a real estate investor ( buy and hold for past 12 years) learn a lot from BP.I Speack perfect chinese and fluent in English, wondering if any opportunity to work with good reputation term key company that want to target on over sea chinese as well as first generation chinese who lives in City like New York and CA to buy turn key or high ROI property in OOS.In New York I see them buy one million dollars condos that’s rents out for 3-4k per month .

With all chinese who only want to buy New York.

It will be interesting to see if Trump does a complete turn around.In the last 24 hours the Chinese have made it clear how hard they will play. 

Since I live and do business in China many Chinese have approached me about US REI.
