To build a real estate empire through boom times and busts, you can be a tech billionaire like Paul Allen. Or you can tap the money from overseas. That’s how Henry Liebman did it.  Henry Who?Starting with just a fraction of Allen’s fortune, Liebman has parlayed foreigner’s cash into a 50-acre Seattle real
estate empire that rivals Allen’s 56 acre Vulcan Inc. holding in size.  And the nation’s real estate meltdown has only
speeded Liebman’s pace as CEO of Seattle’s American Life Inc.
Liebman, in fact, has been so successful at bringing in foreing money – nearly $700 million, from more than 1,000 overseas
investors – that he’s inspiring copycats around the country.
