I'd recommend renaming this to "Show HN" since it appears to be your own. FWIW, it's kind of fun considering how simple it is -- it feels like there's a kernel of a great game here. I found AdVenture Capitalist to be pretty addictive TBH.

Yeah, making it a bit more realistic might be interesting. Show your assumptions, etc.
Basic current assumptions (approximate):

- Boom 10 years - Recession 5 years

- Initial property price, rounded current price in city center for 2bdr in each city. Hong Kong is a little bit too expensive but I currently live there and it's so expensive that it had to be exagerated.

- The 20% you need to buy and 40 year mortgage is how the property sector was working until 2008 in my hometown, Barcelona, before the recession.

- Mortgage rate is 3%

- Rent you receive is around 7% of property value annually

- Inflation is +4% annually during boom and -6% during recession

- Savings return is around 1% annually

- owned property devaluation happens during 15 years until it reaches a minimum and then keeps up with recession/boom cycles

Sorry, quite new to HN. I just add "Show HN" to the tittle?
Welcome to HN!

An ultra-TL;DR set of hints:

- read the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

- read the formatting help at https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc (I'm guessing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10411471 was supposed to be a bullet-point list)

- "self-posts" here are marked here by prepending to the title, typical types are "Show HN: ", "Tell HN: " and "Ask HN: "; this is all community conventions, although properly marked Show and Ask posts will show up on the lists linked in the top bar

- if you like to participate in HN discussions, you may find http://hnnotify.com/ handy

Enjoy your stay! :).

Never knew about hnnotify, thanks for that!
It's pretty cool, especially for holding discussions over the course of days, long after the article has fallen from the front page.
Thanks, I'm so lame!
Not lame, new :). HN isn't exactly intuitive, but that's AFAIK a design decision.
Prepend "Show HN: " to your title, I believe.
I guess only mods can do it. My bad!
