It notes that while many countries invest in US real estate, the top five are Canada, China, Mexico, India, and the UK, accounting for over half of foreign purchases. Reasons for foreign real estate investment include rising incomes, cheap mortgages, family living abroad, immigration, status, and remittance allowances. Emotional connections, safety, appreciation, mortgages, returns, and rentals also drive foreign investment.
