Real estate is more expensive than ever, and the Fed's efforts to bring down inflation are hurting the very people they said they would help: the middle class.  Your average home sale price has been astronomical for the past few years, with the new interest rate hikes creating even more of an affordability crisis. It's only a matter of time before it affects the commercial real estate space too - offices, retail, multi-family housing. They hold a large chunk of the money through debt and banks. So with the industries declining all-around, is it time for the banks to be worried? Should you be worried? Want to take advantage of todays market conditions with us?

China is one of only major world powers that has somehow integrated communism and capitalism - two ideas traditionally thought to be incompatible, even the antithesis of each other. Their economy can truly be considered a modern marvel, having grown exponentially over the course of just 50 years.  But it's not all good: their economy has fluctuations like all others. And with unlimited power of the government to intervene, what will be the result?  It won't work the same as other countries. But just like here, they are experiencing an economic slowdown, though from different causes. Their unemployment is high, banks are lowering interest rates, and the overall outlook has changed.
