Another proof that FCBs (Chinese mostly) really do exist.

"In addition, while borrowing drove many of the Japanese investments in prior decades, Chinese buyers tend to pay in cash."http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100...004173212.html?mod=WSJ_RealEstate_LEADTopNews

"Like many investors from Asian countries, buyers from China mostly want new construction. At Lambert Ranch, a gated development so new in Irvine, Calif., that the leaves on the palm trees haven't yet unfurled, buyers are lining up to buy homes asking between $900,000 to $1.5 million, says Mei Zhou, a Mandarin-speaking real-estate agent in Irvine who uses Skype to communicate with her clients in Asia. About 50% of Lambert's buyers so far are foreigners from Asia, say people close to the community. The development's first 42 available homes sold out in five weeks. "

Where are the Indians though?
 
Di Meng, a native of Changchun who lives in Beijing, is currently attending the University of Southern California. The 23-year-old says the volatility of the Chinese government and, consequently, its economy, pushed him to invest in real estate overseas. Not keen to rent student housing, he recently paid around $800,000 for a Ritz-Carlton condo in downtown Los Angeles

I wouldn't of minded the Ritz either when I was in grad school.  Or maybe Di Meng is still an undergrad.
