Actually it's not easy for people to get loan to service multiple units nowadays unless you can convince bank with your income,passive income,fd and cash reserve. There is a lot of rich people out there and I'm sure they now how to manage money above the average Joe and not put money in one basket. Even if you dare to have a multiple units it's not easy for loan approval unless u really have money. Now 3rd loan and above need to pay 30% down payment mean the multiple unit of property really have a strong cash in their pocket..But if you say that properties price will go down to 50% I'm sure average Joe also suffer.
The weakest link are those gen y flippers who bought multiple dibs units before stringent loan criteria is enforced or took advantages of loop holes. The market doesn't need many of these people to depress the price when their properties taken vp.

According to my friend, people are more willing to go for new launch, rather than subsale in this area. Many subsales around this areas are not sold for the past 2-3 yrs. my frnd didn't say people dying inside.
Buyers of subsales need to pay loan installment on completion, new launch can "hold" for 3 to 4 years. Hence, flippers preferred new launch.
It take 12 to 24 months from npl to auction, and some auction (e.g. good location) is not announced publicly, hence, few people are aware.
