UnReal Estate – Game where you become a real estate mogul

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! :).

It's pretty cool, especially for holding discussions over the course of days, long after the article has fallen from the front page.

Not lame, new :). HN isn't exactly intuitive, but that's AFAIK a design decision.

Prepend "Show HN: " to your title, I believe.
