The Scottsdale housing market is still hot despite interest rates. I purchased my home in 2005 and going by comps in my neighborhood it has more than doubled what I paid for it and has increased in value by $400-500K in the past five years alone. The catch is if I sell I will overpay wherever I decide to buy. Close to retirement so seriously contemplating the RV or sprinter van life for a year or so until I decide what to do if I do sell. If I do sell the net proceeds will be massive but obviously with some huge tax implications.

We’re renting it out rn, schools in that area are pretty great so think we will keep it for investment purposes.
To be clear, you own a house which you're renting out as an investment but you want to our government to confiscate competing properties from other owners who want to do the same thing you're doing?

Alrighty, then...I think I see your motivation now...

I’m American and the government takes my tax dollars legitimately. These Chinese bankers do not

If you’re close to retiring idk if you should ever sell it. Van life makes sense if you’re young or going to live only 5 years not like 20 which is current projections. Just live out 10 then reverse mortgage rent out your own house for rest

The income I’m using to buy these houses were taxed by the us government. These cash buyers from the east are using illicit funds

My money stays here. There money is parked here

That's one thing I was always laughing about when people were bragging about selling their homes so east during the last run. Cool, now go take your profits and overpay elsewhere

By your own admission in your OP you don't even know if Chinese are buying houses. You said you "fear" that may be happening. And IF it's happening you don't know where the money originates from but, by gawd, it's "illicit funds! And I'm an American!!!"

"I don't know if it's happening but it has to stop, dammit!!!"

So you're just paranoid. It must be miserable to go through life knowing everyone is out to get YOU.

Who gives a shite?

Did they legally purchase those properties or not? Advocating for the government to take those properties is the most un-American thing any American can say. You’re simply an American when it suits you.

I thought Russian was being mean when he asked if you were on the spectrum. That was my bad.

Dude. Put whatever law in place to prevent the future purchase of real estate by foreign nationals. That is fine. I have never said otherwise.

What is not fine is sizing property that has already been legally purchased. Americans or non Americans. It doesn’t matter. They bought it legally. It’s theirs. Not the flipping US government’s. Saying otherwise is immoral, unethical and illegal and makes one a shitty American.

Aside from the fact that they already have access to billions, if not trillions, of capital, I doubt the banks care about downpayments, this isn't your average mortgage. The instruments are indexed to the underlying collateral and I'm sure they have a piece of the action on the derivatives, I'd even wager the loans are likely convertible to get an even bigger piece
