While there are definately sharks in China, many real estate "executives" are just asleep and therefore incompetent. What anyone needs who wishes to cash in on the enormous potential is someone on the ground with a proven record and sensible advice. I made a 600% increase on properties in NZ over 7 years, but now living in China I still feel the opportunities are greater here.
Have patience, be smart and you will do great things. I am sure that is what Henry tells the AB's and I believe it. Look for the AB's thumping SA this weekend (22.6.07), and look for Tier 2 cities in China to belt other markets in realestate. I am not writing here to attract attention- I simply want to help people make gains that are disproportionate in this day age. Australia did well in defence the other day in Cape Town, but lost. If you want to be a winner, you don't avoid sharks- you eat them alive with a bit of salt'n'vinegar
Go you good thing!
http://www.invest-in-china.moonfruit.comHere are some of the latest commercial opportunities in Xi'an China. Xi'an is one of the up and coming cities that is helping to lead the charge of China's interior transformation.:
Project 1.Construction Contents and Scale:
-Located at 330 North Street, covering an area of 3,656 Mu, the project plans to build a complex building with 11 floors, which occupies an area of more than 22,000 square meters. So far, the planned construction in the prior periods has been finished (two floors underground and eight floors above ground). The building area has totaled 16,120 square meters and it will be heightened for 6,000 square meters later.
Investment Estimate and Funding SourceSo far, there are two approaches to cooperation for the project:
Whole Transfer
Valuation by Xian Tongyi Real Estate Evaluation Co., Ltd. in December 2005, it amounts to RMB 79.82 million and it is transferred with a price of 70 million.

project 2
The developer has realized total construction area of 100,000m2 with RMB170 million total investments, RMB 40million profit and RMB 20million revenue. It contributes greatly to Xi’an City infrastructural development.Project Content:
The project, Chinatown is located in middle section of West Street,1km away from the Bell Tower. It is adjacent to West Street in north and Sajinqiao Street in east. This project covers 50mu with total construction area of 110,000m2 and RMB 0.42billion total investment. This project is under construction. Some companies have already moved into it. Beijing Century, the first to the sixth floor of Building A, World Trade Center in Building D, Club of World Trade Center and Chinese Club in top floor of Building D, and Russian Restaurant in the fifth floor of Building D.
In accordance with overall planning of Xi’an City government, all buildings along the West Street will be constructed as Tang style. The Viewing Walkway is located about 20m from the beginning of the street with 8 floors. Two of eight floors are underground for parking lot and equipment room. The first underground floor is for commercial use. Enclosing style is utilized in this project planning, and the layout is divided into four parts. The lower floors are for shops. Middle and higher floors of Building A and B is for top grade office building, while, Building C and Building D are respectively for commercial housing and residence use. Two squares are designed. One is leisure square in front of Building A with an area of 2300m2 and the other is water-scene square covering 4000m2. They are echoing with each other at a distance and become a unique sight of West Street, thus improve the quality of this project.
It is proposed by our City government that famous historical Xi’an City and abundant cultural resources should be utilized to promote the quality of culture, thus to drive the development of Xi’an economy. We should input as much as culture meaning in city planning and constructing to make tourists learn history and polished by Chinese culture.
The Chinatown is just the project following the requirements proposed by government to systematically combine culture with commerce.
This project is located in middle section of West Street. Meanwhile, it is adjacent to west axle of the City, Sa Jinqiao Street, which is extending North and South of Xi’an City. It is adjacent to streets in each direction. Favorable geographical position makes this project enjoy many advantages from the beginning.
As the gradual development of various projects along the street, and the introduction of Parkson Retail Ltd., Beijing Wangfujing Department Store Co., Ltd. and Clothes City from Shanghai and Zhejiang will make Chinatown a rising large-scale business place. Its appreciation of real estate will rank the first place in Xi’an City. The Chinatown depends on the overall development of West Street and is also independent from its own special advantages. Its compound business programs will become a shinning business spot integrating sightseeing, tourism, and culture.There will be introduced some large-scale catering and entertainment companies to do business in the fifth and sixth floor of Building B and fourth floor (4,000m2 ) of Building D . The retail stores shall move into -1 floor.
Needless to say these represent immense potential. You know the city is going somewhere when Starbucks has just opened 3 stores within 100m of the towns central Bell Tower.

http://www.invest-in-china.moonfruit.comInvesting in China is much easier than you would expect, and the potential, far from being a needle in the haystack, is absolutely everywhere. New government regulations actually encourage foreign investment and make the process less fraught with complexity than you would imagine. Besides, stringent regulations mean the developers must standardise the transaction contracts in a format that is reasonably straight forward.There has already been collosal gains in the flag ship cities of Beijing and Shanghai, followed closely by Shenzhen and Guanzhou- to such an extent that the government introduced cooling down measures. These measures have bought gains down to around 10% annually, and generally encourage investors to hold onto to their property for a five year period as response to rampant (and successful) speculation. There was a time when it was possible to by off the plans then flip the asset with a huge profit. Those days are now gone(although it does still happen with reasonable returns but the capital gains tax levied on properties sold within 5 years lessons the appeal), however it is still possible to double or triple your investment over 5 years, while receiving around 8% rental yield annually in the interim.The savy investor is now looking to so called "tier 2" cities (in essence these are the capital cities of provinces) such as Wuhan, Xi'an, Chongqing and Chengdu which all have strategic advantages and preferential government policy, and which is attracting vast foreign investment in both the commercial and residential spheres. Right now we are seeing 30% increases on real estate over 6 months while the government invests massively in infrastructure to address the imbalance of income disparity. For example in Xi'an, which will have its underground train network completed within 4 years, has recently connected a bullet train to surrounding cities, and which reduces travel time considerably, and in style- a leap of astonishing dimensions when one considers the creaking models it has replaced.Many are betting that inland cities will soon follow the Eastern hub cycle of significant gains before settling at a much higher level. Prime 110m2+properties can be picked up for around $NZ100k in cities all over inland China, and the risk is not substantial as I see it. One aspect which is particularly attractive is the duel purpose model encouraged by local governments, allowing developments to be used for both residential and commercial use, thereby not limiting potential tenants. The ability to choose great, central locations with managed facilities in cities with 8 million people and more (serious purchasing power) is excellent news for kiwi investors, indeed all investors with some nous. It also offers great chances for new investors looking for a break with the kiwi market becoming inaccessable to some. Taking a punt now on China will likely mean you are nicely positioned for an assault on the Kiwi market in 5 years time- break out of the shacklesIn fact I have been in China for 3 and a half years and have already bought two brand new properties in sweet locations which receive a rental yield of around 8% annually, while actual property values are increasing on a daily basis. Rental agreements are usually worked out over a 12 month period. One property in particular was picked up for less than NZ$800/m2, and has bounded forth admirably. We paid a further $6000 to rennovate the place from a concrete shell to spanking new mint condition. Had we pushed the boat out and spent $10,000 we would have had a palatial result. We are awaiting further surges as the subway, swimming pool, Gymnasium and cafe are completed, while the location is to die for. I intend to add a further 3 properties to my portfolio over the next several months in Tier 2 cities, and I seriously advise others to consider it.The key, as ever is to do your homework and/or have someone on the ground in China who knows what they are doing. In that regard I can highly recommend Sino-NZ Investment Group who specialize in the field.
Yes it is my company as you may have gathered, our mission is simply to help people enjoy these substantial investment opportunities, an endeavour in which we have already had resounding success if feedback from our clients, and the sheer statistics are anything to go by.We have specialist Chinese realtors at our disposal and only deal with legitimate licensed developers. In addition we take care of translation of all documents through independant and authorised professionals, which are notarised and, as such, bound by Chinese law. You will have peace of mind at every phase of the operation. Investing in China does require a little patience and imagination, however for the brave, sharp increases can be relatively safely anticipated.There is also the issue of the Renminbi (Chinese currency) which has finally unpegged from the US$, and while still heavily regulated is making slow gains with the potential to lift sharply in the face of US pressure, or more likely when the timing is right for China to increase its value. No one is entirely sure when that will be. In my own assessment I believe it will continue plodding up for some years to come. Add to that the current high of the kiwi dollar and this issue alone could net a substantial windfall.
The Chinese market is not to be feared, though obtaining the services of someone experienced and trustworthy to help you navigate through potential hazards, and avoid becoming a horror story is highly desirable.
