Real Estate Investing in China

A major increase in international real estate investing is taking place recently between China and the United States. In the U.S., the Chinese are now the second-largest foreign buyers of homes, behind Canadians, accounting for $7.4 billion of sales in the 12 months ended March 2011, up 24% from the previous 12 months, according to the National Association of Realtors. Buyers from China and Hong Kong also spent $1.71 billion on commercial property in the U.S. in 2011, more than quadruple their investment in 2008, says Real Capital Analytics. Chinese investors are interested in commercial projects, residential properties, hotels, golf courses, clubs, land, industrial warehouses, office buildings, and shopping centers.

BizzyMac here, I believe that you could improve this article by changing the title to a more accurate title that is not as confusing. Also you could make your information a little more clear by changing up some words here and there other then that it looks good. This is the first time that I have read about something like this so it was interesting, and with these changes I believe that this will be a great article for others to read.

Thank you for your feedback. Some of the organization of the page was off and the title for the chinese investments section was wrong. I have changed the title for that section to Recent Increase in Chinese Real Estate Investing in the United States.

BizzyMac here again, Hey Kabrown12 just wanted to let you in on some things you could do to improve this article by doing. I believe that you should add more to what International Residential Real Estate is and also add why people involve themselves in such acts. It is always nice to tell people why people do things either for money, or just to have a nice vacation spot for themselves. BizzyMac (talk) 19:43, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey there BizzyMac, thanks for your input I added a section to Internationals Residential Real Estate like you suggested. I don't necessarily find that vacation homes are bought for real estate investments. It is more steady home and rental properties being bought. Kabrown12 (talk) 19:51, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
