I know there are quite a few old mill houses in Kannapolis, China Grove area that make pretty good rentals.

China crashing?

The older units willlikely be taken off the market (this has been in the works for a long time,nothing new I don't think for the basic move toward efficiency) and shipped toother countries...maybe China, LOL.I see some real deals on 80%ers in the spring, but I doubt the price difference will justify paying higher utility bills for the next twenty years....okay, 10 years because stuff doesn't last like it use to. :)

But I'll be flipping channels too.I don't think Romney will take Ohio, we will see, his Jeep made in China ad didn't help him there.

MJ, as mentioned in another post, I deal mainly in Japan, simply because I love the safe, hassle-free business environment (nobody screws anybody, tenants never harm a property intentionally and are rarely late, and tend to stay 4-5 years on average, with 15-20 year tenants not uncommon too) - but I hear if you spend some time researching and building connections, China's just as good cashflow wise (not nearly as hassle free, but also has growth potential, which Japan is severely lacking in).

Sounds like he is just not found of products made in China.

I bet if you open a bank account in China, the CD rate is probably much higher.

For some global perspective, there are 83 billionaires in China's parliament.

He's working on huge scales and designing 'Green' cities in China among other places.

An additional risk present now is that because the world is so interconnected, something that happens in Europe, China, the US (or Crimea) could have devastating consequences for your local market.
