Best city and foreign country to buy properties

What about Shanghai???

I forgot… but I did mention it in one of my posts here… we might have to dig deep to retrieve that post… :persevere:

Who is a China hater? I never said anything against China

That may be meant for me… I do not like Mao jackets…

Oh… I thought you were… ok I take that back… :rofl:

You claim I am a China hater today. Manch claimed that I am not against SALT deduction reduction. Who’s spreading rumors about me?!

As an independent moderate, every side should love me, not hate me!

Chill out… it’s hard to find love on the Internet… :rofl:

Nowadays even a moderate is hated by people. Imagine what an extremists would be received by the other side

I can get right back on it (matchmaking), if the red envelope is phat as the young folks say???

There you go again… you’re not wasting a single opportunity to get a stab at that red envelope… :rofl:

I still think Bay Area is along the best if not the best place for RE investment. Every house in every town along the 101 and 880 corridors will eventually sell for 1M+. So just go buy anything below 1m and wait.

East Bay is the only place to find homes for less than $1M now…

I pegged you for a BBH fan.:thinking:

I completely agreed with your opinion because there are very luxurious cities in Dubai and i wish that i could buy property in Dubai as soon as possible.

Toledo, Ohio is the top U.S. city for real estate investment in 2024, with a projected 14% year-over-year increase in current home prices and an 8.3% jump in the median sale price of homes entering the market. But you can reach me if you want properties in Illinois.

Credit where it’s due. Manch was correct.

Well, I can argue homes along 280 will fair way better than those along 880. Northern Alameda County which includes Oakland I am NOT bullish on. Case in point: even In N Out is closing and leaving!!! This was acknowledged to be a PROFITABLE location yet the CRIME is just to prevalent. Sorry, Oaktown is a NO TOWN for investing!!! Trust me, I left and made way more money along 280 corridor.

Oakland has been the forever black sheep in the Bay Area family. For some reason it can never get its acts together. And it drags property value of its neighbors down.

The 101 corridor is the slam dunk obvious choice back in 2017. Anything that’s obvious now?

(LOL) The condos at R&F Princess Cove in JB, right across from Singapore. RTS train station to be operational in about 2-3 years. Game changer. In Phase 2, and investors are gobbling up these studios to 4 bedroom condos. I want one…

Only thing that gives me pause is the political situation in Malaysia. I don’t know enough to comment. But it seems many SG folks want to retire in Malaysia. So could be very profitable.

Back to the Bay I like the prospects of the 680 corridor and the stretch of 580 from Castro Valley to Livermore. But everybody knew that already.

A more contrarian take of mine is that SF will bounce back big time 2 or 3 years from now. Everyone is dunking on SF now but politics on the ground is shifting. We will see more clearly after this Nov’s election. Tech will also start hiring eventually. So around say 2027 we can see people changing their tunes on SF. Not 100% certain but I like SF’s odds.
