What is the deal about having CX buy a house in HKG? What is the monthly mortgage limit? Is there a max term? Thoughts - buy in HKG, stay there a few years, then bid for a N.Am base (and sell the house, of course!).
You have just broken the code!
It is not inconceivable that if you invest in Hong Kong real estate (with Cathay's money) for 8 to 10 years, you can return to north America with 1 million in equity.
There are lots of different options, but if you were to arrive at Cathay with this as your "10 year plan", I would wager that you would come very close.
Good luck with your future. Setting career goals for yourself is very important and it sounds like you are well on your way.
