Capital controls imposed on Chinese citizens really began around 2016, which may explain why homes prices really started jumping up early 2017 as the controls became effective around June-July of 2017 so presumably many buyers were rushing into safe haven assets in anticipation of this happening.Long story short on China, many citizens have fears of policies over there and feel that a weakening Yuan over the next several years in addition to bank runs and an impending credit crisis (China has printed more money over last 2 years than ever in their history) will have heavy implications on their wealth and they wish to diversify and send as much money out as they can before things begin to get really messy.

I like it but when I go to sell I will have eliminated an entire demographic (like most baby boomers) from considering my home.6.

And that is because properties are so darn expensive that they HAVE to make their properties 2-4 unit to make it cost effective.
