Real Estate Investment Secret

to me location is not about the site layout but where is it (which town, which taman, which road). which in this case doesn't matter as you already sure of buying in that location. what you are refering to is site layout, precinct plan and land form and orientation. very difficult to say from just the site plan. btw your plot size is indeed 18x60 for typical intermediate, it is a small DST (my estimate, probably 18x30 base floor area for the house with about 30 ft porch) and affordable type.  fyi, i normally concerned if a house is next to a road (even auxiliary), what kind of traffic you expecting, is there a perimeter fence. next to shop lot across the road, what kind of business may open there, will there be a lot of people parking their car in front your house to walk to the shoplot, your lot 127 the side of the house is facing west? will it be very hot? how about land form, is there slope, if so how is the slope (if water can flow into your front porch for eg...) so ther...

https://www.theedgeproperty.com.sg/content/leasehold-versus-freehold-argument-will-go-until-cows-come-home Many have always debated over the issue of whether to buy a leasehold or freehold property. (In this article, we shall treat 999-year leaseholds as if they are freehold in nature.) In their quest to find out more about these two tenures of properties, one thing they will encounter is the question of what premium a freehold property commands over one that has a limited legal lifespan. However, one thing that many will notice is that wherever they turn to for an answer, there doesn’t seem to be a definitive one. Even professionals like valuers would condition their reply with an approximate percentage. Often a 10% premium is used. Mathematically, the difference in value between 60 to 99-year leasehold and a freehold land is negligible. It is only when the remaining lease gets down to 78 years that the difference amounts to 10%. The discount for a leasehold of varying tenure...

http://www.straitstimes.com/business...ime=1492319471 While working in the mortgage department of an international bank here in   2007 , Mr Eugene Huang was privy to the workings of the property market in Singapore which was getting hotter by the day. Investors were snapping up new properties by the floor, sub-selling them or buying resale properties and flipping the options, he recalls. Inspired, the then 26-year-old took the plunge, hoping to make a quick buck, but nearly got burned. The three-bedroom, 1,119 sq ft apartment he   bought in Tanjong Rhu for $1.23 million   found zero interest from buyers during the two-week option period. Around the same time, news of the failure of Lehman Brothers did not ring any alarm bells for him, and he went ahead to exercise his option to buy the property with a hefty mortgage payment. Soon after, global markets crashed, and within two years, the condominium's value tanked to almost half the purchase price.   A similar-sized...

http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/prope...t_PropertyNews The introduction of several cooling measures has made it harder for average Singaporeans to get financing for investment properties. However, one expert has lifted the lid on some lesser known methods available such as co-investing, which could prove beneficial for singles. By Stuart Chng Many Singaporeans love investing in real estate because it offers long-term capital growth and allows them to collect rental income and retire early. It can also be passed down through generations to provide inflation beating income that their loved ones can comfortably rely on. However, this appetite for property investments can be both a blessing and a curse. While a healthy interest for properties can stimulate the economy through job creation and infrastructure spending, over-consumption can wreak financial havoc on individuals and easily spiral into a nationwide crisis, such as the US subprime crisis a few years ago. That predicament is to som...
