"Why I Bought A House In Detroit For $500"

Because you like Chinese people? China is buying up abandoned homes in Detroit at a record rate. Thousands of them, comrade.

That is true, but only Chinese who can't get Visas to come and see the property are buying, probably expecting some return on investment. Those who managed to get Visas and actually toured the city refused to buy anything. If the Chinese owners actually came to occupy the houses, it would be an improvement.

Why is that allowed? Are we allowed to buy land in China? I highly doubt it.
