Don’t get too spooked about all this “glut” talk. Vacancy rates are still very low, and original rents quoted are always pumped slightly for finance purposes. This type of glut talk usually comes from people with other motives e.g. have you ever known an economist not to warn about the economy. All have vested interests.

You need to at least have some passion or interest in what the franchise does.

How quickly you can liquidate a property not an issue? Will anyone buy my place?
Would have done well if you bought properties in HK in 1996. Only lost about 50-70% cap value to date.

My understanding is that you can put almost anything with an “end date”. I once signed a purchase with the condition of an o/s posting being firmed within 2 weeks – related to finance approval. Posting happened, I bought.[^]
