Oh, two more addendums:
That rental income in the US isn't considered "earned" (thanks SMS btw for pointing out the "earned" part), so that will all be taxed in the US.
The China thing was 180(?) days cumulative, so multiple short trips can still trigger it.
Health insurance is completely different in Singapore. No idea if your US company will cover you, that's going to be very company specific. However in my short time here, it seems most 'routine' medical bills I've had are less in total than just the co-pay on my US bills. And I had a rather generous insurance package. Example, I had an ear infection. S$28 was what I paid to walk in without an appointment, see a doctor in 5 minutes, get two prescriptions, and have a follow-up check-up the next day. The Wife had a dental checkup, cleaning, x-rays, and two fillings. S$260ish. This was a walk-in at 2pm, and she got a 3:30 appt, which they profusely apologized for her having to wait at all. Right before i left the US, I had an x-ray and one filling, and my co-pay was about $180. (I'd day of about $900 total). I had to schedule that 6 weeks out.
