It is foolish to buy houses here in US as the house price in China is going quickly. In Beijing, if you buy a house today, you will double or triple or 100% or 500% times your investment in 5 years.
If you want to become a foolish person, you can buy houses in US, if you want to become smart people, you would like to buy houses in Beijing or Shanghai. As the price of houses over there continue to increase, your profit over there would thousand times higher than here. Be smart and take action to buy houses in Beijing or Shanghai.
你怎知道五年后北京上海的房子还会翻?Yes, it is certain, based on so many factors. 会翻, yes, it possible that it will 10-100 times 翻.
A lot of well-known professors and economists predict that house price in Beijing or Shanghai will increase tremendously in next 5 years, and next 10-20 years. If you buy a square feet apartment over there, it is better than you work in US for 10 years as a professional engineer. That is the basic math.
It's gambling. Buying real properties for investment is the same as you buy stocks. No one actually can guarantee the future prices of your properties. But over all market trend is growth unless there is a major crash in the market. In my view, the real property markets in China contain huge bubbles. Until they burst, the prices are too high now.
