We've Heard it all before Gandey. A whole lot of guys with big mouths on the DB bus. But when push comes to shove, well we know the answer there.
And honestly, where are they going? Retirement? possibly. To JetStar? Good luck with that.
And try running a HK property when you are not in HK. I won't be getting my AirCon fixed, when the landlords on Bondi beach, sunning there white bits.
Yes, I'm not arguing with you there. I'm just saying I know two guys who are off but their houses will be available for you to rent.
Your last comment indicates no property management experience. I can tell you first hand, leasing a Bondi apartment is more problematic than leasing a HKG property which is relatively hands-off with no tenant rights. I'd even say HKG tenancies are far easier than commercial leases in Australia. You can screw HKG tenants on rent and even pinch their bond with relative ease. Try that in Australia and you will be strife.
