Comments on: Selling US Property to Chinese Investors: What Works https://marketingtochina.com/sell-us-real-estate-chinese-investors/ Smart Tips for Smart Business in China Fri, 07 Nov 2025 07:56:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: William Burch https://marketingtochina.com/sell-us-real-estate-chinese-investors/#comment-338144 Mon, 07 Aug 2023 00:38:50 +0000 https://marketingtochina.com/?p=35037#comment-338144 I am looking for an investor or business partner. I have flipped over 200 homes, built custom homes, and currently went to work for Nation wide builder of affordable homes so I could learn this system. Their profit margins are between 13-19% per home. Each house is taking roughly 6 months to build. That means low end that’s a 26% a year return on your money. I know the ends and outs of all phases of the construction including permitting. Last month alone I poured 17 slabs in 20 days because my crews don’t work weekends.

If I continue in just my one subdivision that would a total of 17×12=204 houses in a year. The average price of a home in my subdivision is $485,000. Take $485,000×204=$98,940,000. That comes to a profit margin of just $12.8 million a year. The biggest part of this is the houses I’m building already qualified buyers, so their sales price of the home is covered/guaranteed money. Therefore, the major part of the front money is land development and employee costs.

The current land was purchased at $25,000 an acre. On that acre we build a road and 6 houses. Each of those 6 lots sell between $10,000 to $25,000 each. My current subdivision started 8 months ago. 89 properties have sold. Roads are in for the first 130 houses, and 39 homes have made it past permitting and have already started being built.

If the company I work for would do a little more custom work in these houses the profit margins would stay close to the same but would pull in at least another 15% of buyers. Just letting the home owner pick their own interior paint would increase sells. Offering accent walls to add into their homes would increase revenue.

My masters is in marketing and to grow a new builder faster I have an idea that nobody else offers and I’m doing it I know it would increase sells by another 20%. This is why I’m seeking a business partner outside of the US. My son once said, “the only people that live the American Dream, are foreign business owners.” People in American tend to take their freedom for granted and prefer to have things handed to them instead of dreaming and trying to achieve greatness.

Hong Kong is where the most expensive real estate is. Investing there would be profitable since there’s a lot of demand.

Olivier,
I own 2 houses which I am interested in selling.

1) 20 Midland Lane, Wheatley Heights, NY 11798 (NY City suburb with excellent schools) -> rented to a family as a home
You may view this property on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2123545291005602
The house generates a rental income of $39,000 per year. An identical house across the street sold for $389,000. This house is for sale $365,000.

I am able to share a list of comps.
Wheatley Heights median sale price $460,000
Wheatley Heights median list price $399,000

2) 105 Constitution Drive, Lackawaxen, PA 18435 -> rented as a vacation property
This house generates $45,000 per year as a vacation rental.
The house is being sold by me with all furnurture and customer list for $300,000
https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p239956

The United States has seen rents rise substantially over the past 8 years. This is due to the inability of banks to offer loans due to strict regulations. More families are forced to rent which drives up the price of home rentals.
In addition, the market for vacation homes has changed dramatically during the past 10 years. The number of families renting a resort home for vacation has increased 5 – fold.

For these reasons, investment in single family homes has become profitable in the United States.
I have been a landlord for 25+ years as have some of my friends. We are considering establishing an Equity Fund targeting investments in this market. We are looking for wealthy investors such as Chinese citizens.

Let me know if you are able to help me with any of this….

Move down way south of the border, contact expats really enjoying life just an hour from the hussle and bustle of Buenos Aires, Argentina and 2 hours from Montevideo.
Colonia is where you want to go. We have a nice thatched roof ranch, triple garage and horse stable, eucalypt forest, very large water hole and 8 manageable hectares of park, established trees and all you need. How to I market this to the chinese?
