Has anyone had any experience with property investment and purchases in Hong Kong?
Right now, the exchange rate is very favourable. 1 aussie dollar equals 8.3 Hk dollars. This gives an added protection to investing over there.
Furthermore, the property market seems to be quite volatile with swings of over 20% over half decades. This means that there is much more opportunities for gains (and losses) than australian property investment.
The final sweetener is that there is no capital gains tax in hong kong and foreigners are entitled to own property.
I would be interested to know if anyone has had experience in this area.
