(Featuring Mike Hu, Managing Director, Gaw Capitol Partners)
With travel limitations, empty offices, and remote working, the routine operating procedures for cross-border investment faced seas of uncertainty over the past year. As the world returns to a new normal, what’s next for international investment?
In this new episode of the AFIRE Podcast, host and AFIRE CEO Gunnar Branson sits down with Mike Hu, Managing Director of Gaw Capital Partners, to share his thoughts on US property markets from the perspective of an international investor. What’s the future of cross-border investing in the real estate market, especially between Asia and the US?
For many international investors, the US remains the most transparent and most liquid market in the world, which shows promise for continued investment into the US. But how that interest plays out will depend on what happens as the US and the rest of the world emerges from the pandemic.
