I am new to BP and an expat in Hong Kong preparing to transition from a corporate gig.  

I have been to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Borneo and Malaysia but not Mainland China.

@Hong Lem have you looked on your county clerk's webpage.

@Michael Hong I'm interested.

@Hooi-Hong KhorChances of getting a HELOC on an investment property are slim and lenders if they lend may go to 70-80% value max.

@Keetaek Hong I am not sure which tool can do all of this automatically (I know there are many tools that can do all of this, but not automatically).

were 100k houses in SF bay area popped to 300 to 500k still a huge number in those days.So I was up at Whistler in BC skiing and going up the chair lift with a nice couple from Vancouver.. and we talk about real estate at that time the Hong Kong Chineese were making a very serious run at every thing Vancouver getting ready for the 89 termination of British influence in Hong Kong and the prices were going up.. that couple said to me.. we are just going to wait for the prices to come back down.. and we were talking about nice SFRs in Vancouver at 200 to 300k.. well now same houses are 2 mil to 3 mil.. they never came back down.. and I don't know if that nice young couple ever pulled the trigger.. but I told them based on my experience in the SF bay area and the pacific rim buyer influencing our market I would not count on a big retreat in prices.. 

@Daniel Kong Do you mind sending me the spreadsheet?
