'Shanghai resident Louis Yu is proud of his four investment properties in
Melbourne and found them easy to manage from China — until one of his
apartments became a "headache".

That apartment is part of Aurora Melbourne Central, one of the tallest
residential buildings in Melbourne with more than 1,000 dwellings.

"We thought [Australian real estate] was a mature market and it was supposed to
be well regulated," Mr Yu said.

Mr Yu was approached, on the Chinese messaging app WeChat, by a woman asking
him for his Aurora apartment "vote".

Mr Yu said Hung-Jing Tiong, known to residents as Jing, provided a form in
English which he signed without fully understanding what it said or meant.

His experience is one of several similar stories other overseas investors —
with apartments in the same building — have told the ABC.'

Australia’s equivalent of the dreaded US HOA.
