Recognition of business opportunities for Chinese private investors in U.S. real estate market

Real estate investment is becoming increasingly international. As China's economy rises as a major force in the world, its continuous growth in fiscal surpluses and accumulation of wealth are making up an expanding segment of the capital market. Traditionally, state-owned enterprises (SOE) and banks were important sources of international real estate investment from China; more recently, increasing high-net-worth individuals and private real estate equity funds have merged and are seeking opportunities around the world. This paper identifies the important policy indicators that are pertinent to Chinese private investors' activities in the U.S. real estate market, examines the investment landscape in both countries, gives particular attention to associated challenges, barriers and risks, and finally explores the potential business opportunities that can be recognized and turned into meaningful strategies.
