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

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
