Doctors earn millions a year. Just wait for the remuneration package.
Your eyes will pop out.

gcb is difficult

But two doctors owning ocr interterrace is not uncommon
For new launch ocr condo, 3 bedder compact abt 2mil

Plenty of doctors use single own name to buy and save spouse name for second investment property

New launch condo is 2mil for 3 bedroom compact
3 mil can get u very decent ccr condo
4 mil gets u original condition ocr interterrace

Why not?
Leveraging 10x is normal.

Hongkong median home price to median income is 18.8
I think 10x is very safe
10-12x safe
12-14x some risk mortgage stress
14-16x high risk of mortgage stress
>16x respect for being brave

No joke - doctors are holding a lot, a lot of cash

Met a GP once in mid 40s - was going to buy his third private property in kid’s name

Doctor and spouse were already holding one in each of their names

why not?
say you buy 1 new launch (3br compact 2mil), your wife buy 1 ex-ec (3br 1.5mil)
assuming bank interest rate stress test at 4.8% for 30 years loan, and bank wont loan more than TDSR 55%

Your wife needs to earn: $10,731.79per mth
you need to earn: $14,309.06 per mth

i see no reason why locum cant earn $14,309.06?
