Look at you with more to offer than a gently used jar of mayonnaise for sale. edit I see that you are crackerjack3 and not crackerjack.

Could be. I remember when the Japanese were buying up the commercial real estate in the 80's. There was worry about the Japanese being able to control the U.S. one day. Have you seen the movie Blade Runner? It portrayed a dystopian future of this. The problem is that the real estate prices dropped and the Japanese quit buying and even sold at a loss.

From the article: "Real estate experts also cautioned against drawing the conclusion that Japanese real estate investors are faring worse than their American counterparts, even though many Japanese bought property at the market peak from 1988 to 1990. The analysts noted that the nation’s merciless real estate slump--caused by overbuilding, the slowing economy and a drying up of credit--has hammered a wide range of U.S. real estate tycoons as well, among them Donald J. Trump, Edward J. DeBartolo and John Portman.

“The Japanese were no dumber than the Americans,” said Anthony Downs, a Brookings Institution real estate expert in Washington.

Still, Japanese investors in Los Angeles, where they own about 45% of the premium downtown office space, have been especially hurt. Rodman said recent appraisals of such space shows that building values have fallen from 20% to 30% since the late 1980s."

I can see the same thing happening to this real estate market in the next 5 to 10 years.
