Will the investment banks (sorry, no more investment), foreign banks continue to stay in Hong Kong? Maybe...
I look around, the other stalls selling clothes at the price range of HKD 100, so basically you need to sell 80 clothes per month in order to overcome the rental, that is about 2 clothes per day, and this is just to cover the rental, not your income yet.
Take a look at this on going project. Very impressive isn't it?
With the growing financial expert in Hong Kong, there will be more and more rich people, and soon you will see more and more such high end modern housing in Hong Kong.
After renovation, there are about 5 small rooms, each can be rented out seperately. And given a choice, which would you like to stay? I am sure the one below can request for a much higher rental than the above.
By just slightly renovate your property, you can get a much higher return. And if you can put your property online, you can get a higher rental by having those oversea to rent with you before they reach Hong Kong.
