Rents in Hong Kong
Etrang, nice link to the Tung Chung property. Note, for $19000 its unfurnished, so Mungo, that's what you can expect for unfurnished, and you can bet there'll be a premium of about $5000 for a furniture fitted place. So your special allowance will all but disappear whilst the market prices remain so high. You'll blow a bit setting up if you want to be comfortable - so that's a factor to consider here.
Property prices are at all time high now, so that is also something to consider, if and when there's a correction then you maybe able to get into the market, but the correction will need to be about 30%+, so it ain't easy, with no kids, its doable, if wifey or gf has quails then you will be ok and they get a job - ok. If you're on your pat malone its a struggle, but you might round up a nice catch when you're here.
