Chinese people.

Especially Chinese gang-associate people trying to muscle in on illegal grow ops.

They do this A LOT in California, a whole lot.

Typically inside there are 1 or 2 non-Engrish speaking Chinese who work the grow.

I’ll take a stab and guess people with enough cash to buy properties.

I don’t know, but I bet they have grammar and punctuation ability. Do the flyers appear to be edited and typeset?

Professional landlords. But are they willing to pay the market price, or are they trying to get it too cheap?

I think it is probably those people that don’t know how to use capital letters.

They are a bunch of morons and should never be taken seriously.

Keep them out of your life, they are monkey-butt stupid and have no business interacting with humans.

BTW, not all whites are Anglo-Saxons. Could it have been whites of other descent?

One guy use to include a Dollar in his letters.

Got $5 from him so far. Then he quit adding the Dollar in his mailing.

Oh, you’re in California. With house prices out there, they might be taking advantage of the program that allows them to get green cards in return for buying properties over the certain price level. A few years ago, some geniuses yelled for “merit-based” immigration and had that passed. So we get more anti-American immigrants coming only for the money or to exert political influence here in advance of a future takeover attempt by a foreign communist nation.

just for fun, i responded to one. i had about 3 phone conversations with a person on the phone (american normal english speaker). the lady (iirc it was a female) wanted to know what price i would accept for the property. off the cuff i offered market price, volunteering also that i needed a new roof at about $30k-$40k.

i never heard back after giving my price.

so, i guess the strategy of these people involves:

* pretending to be white anglo saxon american couples with spare money to invest

* finding out what price the homeowner would sell at

* if the homeowner is willing to sell at significantly below cost (that is, a distress sale situation), buy the property for cash

* then what? flip or hold (or...)

i suppose there is a possibility that these people could be doctors and/or lawyers, or a conglomerate of them offering limited partnerships to the doctors and/or lawyers. maybe a trick would be to ask for more information on the partnership, and see if that is what it is. otherwise, i think there might be justification ti presume that this represents an underground economy whereby rich chinese are using surplus us$ off of the balance of trade to purchase the land from beneath our feet. and if that is so, then what are the long term implications? what can be done about it if the long term implications are bad?

not owning the land under your feet translates to me as everyone slowly becoming converted into some modern equivalent of sharecroppers. historically imho usa economic growth was fueled by land ownership and the prospect thereof by the average guy. remove that from society, and don’t expect the society to remain in its current form.

My wife and I decided when we got married that we would not use credit and pay cash for everything.

We pay cash for houses. We pay cash for everything.

We drove junkie old cars because that’s what we could afford. We shopped at thrift and second hand stores.We purchased a repossessed house that needed a lot of work and did the renovation ourselves. All while raising three daughters and working.

It takes a while (10 years or so) to save the money but once you get the first house bought then you have the built in equity for the second house after you sell it.

Debit free living is actually a very smart thing to do.

They might simply represent an ‘investor’ who, in my estimation is probably someone like Blackrock or the likes of Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Mike Bloomberg, etc.

I believe the plan is to engineer a collapse in the US economy and financial system, causing a deep depression and buying up everything for pennies on the dollar.

The typical American family will no longer be able to afford their home so they sell, then rent instead of own.

I am not predicting this, nor do I want to see it happen. Just I think this is part and parcel of the NWO plan.

I don't know; but, the people who move into the neighborhood are the same ones who abandoned all their cats the last time they got foreclosed on.

I don't need more cats.

It’s Chinese buyers. My realtor friends here in SoCal have been talking about this for years. All cash offers and sometimes above the listing price. Usually the better neighborhoods.

Someone in the construction industry told me just last week that developers have been approaching Saudi investors to get them to purchase houses. I guess Americans will only be able to rent in LA-OC soon.

The home buyers with cash are predominantly Chinese and Indian. Brought to you by Bill Clinton, George H. Bush and Barry Obama.
