I thought that would be the high-water mark for international buyers interested in fixer-up properties a good 45 minutes from midtown Manhattan, but I was wrong. 2007年，我从伦敦搬到纽约的时候，曾与一个巴西人和一个德国人竞价购买我在布鲁克林的这套赤褐色砂石住宅。我当时以为，国际买家对距离曼哈顿市中心45分钟路程的陈旧住宅感兴趣的高点也不过如此了，然而我错了。 These days, I regularly wake to leaflets from Chinese property developers dumped on my front stoop, offering to buy homes for cash.
