should interest rate hit double digit, the counteraction by officialdom would be more q.e. and selective default, and gold will reach parity against median price of usa real estate, and, why, it would be time to increase real estate holdings by 100,000% (during the bad old days of german inflation, a single oz of gold can be exchanged for a whole block of buildings, and i am enthusiastic to sample that outcome)

do not fuss, hk real estate, as measured against gold, has been falling since asian financial crisis, and so cannot be in a bubble in the classic sense

you would not understand

but you will

i am figuring on the industrials doing a a quintuple fm cost before 2015

do you have a better asset class to gravitate to?

i thought not.

<<please tell us to buy more of your real estate ! I'll certainly buy yours when interest rates hit double digits LOOL>>

hello rolla coasta, i have good news.

the renovation of the rental property mentioned here Message 25904434 and there Message 25865450 is now complete, and

upon opening my newly refurbished (new lock) mailbox, i discovered a note left by a diligent real estate agent.

apparently a soon-to-be british refugee employed by an august global bank in alignment with its entire c-class officers relocation from tyranny london to freedom hong kong had been scouting in the small beachside compound where i engaged

he was looking at a ground floor rental, heard the renovation noises upstairs, astutely investigated, and wisely wishes to lease my unit that sports better view as well as more thoughtful and all new fitouts, and has offered rent at 32% above what i was counting on

the offer, if i accept, will result in a win-win, as the real estate asking price is based on cap rate, and at same cap rate, i just gained same 32% mark-to-mark on my investment should i choose to book such, and i will have successfully deployed otherwise foolishly worth-less cash to engage with robust cash flow.

the said british refugee has not yet moved to hk, but after agent called, will send deposit ahead to secure abode for needy family by monday end of day.

once done, i could not care less about the transaction price as i nurse on the goodness that will be auto deposited, all enabled by capital freedom, economic liberty, and the growing rebellion against wastrel tyranny.

this is what i like, market enthusiasm for a job well done.

and even better, should the property market collapse due to your imagined high interest rate (and i hope you are right!) which would presumabbly cause another global crisis necessitating more government tyranny driving more londoners and new yorkers to freedom hong kong, along with another flood of liquid goodness in good time, especially if transaction price temporarily falls relative to gold and or against platinum, the already in-place cash flow will enable me to double up and getmore for less, averaging down, claiming more full ocean view, resulting in a win-win-win
