    I’ve heard about stuff like this before, Chinese companies basically building apartments/condos that are never 100%/suitable to be lived in, because they know that all their buyers are just people making investments to park their money

    This person bought 15 mostly 2-3 bedroom apartments for an average of $2000 each, one cost roughly $150 before taxes and fees.

    That’s bonkers.
