<<my point, perhaps misunderstood, is that the so-called freehold property in usa, after accounting for the various taxes etc, is a confiscatory lease at best, especially from here on forward. we can work out the numbers over any elapsed time periods, from 1 to 250 years, relative to a 75-999 years lease in hkg.>> I understood, perhaps you didn't, the real estate taxes are figured in the expense side of the ledger. Net income is net of taxes. As far as death duty taxes goes there are legal ways to structure these things, which most knowledgeable investors avail themselves of. Freehold is freehold, Tax is a government fee that can vary over time and has throughout history. There is no guarantee HK or PRC or USA will have the same tax structure a year from now let alone 250 years from now. Considering Hk was a crown colony of the UK in 1842 and was occupied by the Japs for almost 4 years and now is under the PRC projecting out 100 years and assuming no changes is extremely optimistic. :}
