Advice for to-be future landlords:

[blackjack21trader]

Be vigilant and diligent when buying investment properties !

Properties are not toys or masak masak games you play or go markets and buy.

One wrong move on the start could set you back many years in your pursue of financial freedom.

There are many things to keep in mind when buying Singapore investment properties. One is:

It is better to buy a smaller one in Core Central Region or Regional Central Region ( D9,D10,D11 ) or (D12,D13,D15) than a HUGE one in neverlands.

The rationale being based on the holding power of the owners behind CCR and RCR and the profile of the property demand purchasers.

Good Luck.

Thanks will bear that in mind.
Why no d14 in your list ? My firepower limit my choice to rcr.
Btw, for rcr, any preferred choice , d12 d13 or d15 ?

So happy you ask me this question, brother marktkt22!

From my humble 20 years of property investing: D15,D12,D13,D14** in that order.

(**D14: Only selected locations.Be careful of staying near dubious lanes..I know as I was a Geylander during the most of my early years. Near Paya Lebar MRT or City Plaza or Eunos or Malay Village should be fine.)

JMHO.

What about D14 kembangan area?

[ysyap]

Think one of the more vibrant areas is in D19... so much is taking place and new launches every other month, for many years already...

My colleague asked me about rental but I can't be too sure so ask here. Also good to know as Landlord... Is there a rule that if tenants approach agent acting for owner to rent the unit, tenants still have to pay that agent commission? I told him no need but that agent seemed determined to get from him. In short, that agent will be getting two times the commission...

[roly8]

how much cash did you guys start with as newbie landlord?

nowadays, it seem so hard

My tenants these days seem to have engaged their own agents. In fact I don't recall when was the last time I had tenants renting without their own agent. So when it's time for renewal, I pay my agent and the tenants pay their own agents. That's how it's been working for me. Agents win! Not sure how it would be if the tenant had no agent though. Doesn't seem fair for the tenants to have to pay the landlord's agent.

before CEA was formed, tenant nid to pay comm to agts for rental below 2.5k....tat was the market practice although is up to the tenant to nego wif the agt la....

after CEA is formed, ONE agt CANNOT represent both tenant and landlord anymore.....so tenant now either represent themselves and insist no paying of comm or engage another agt and den pay comm lor....but i believe for higher rental ones, tenants still dun hf to pay la.....recently mine 5k rental i pay comm only......my agt share his comm wif the other cobroke tenant's agt

so i believe it all depend on the rental amount....imagine only 2k rental and 1yr lease....landlord only pay 1k comm to his agt.....den how to further split the 1k wif cobroke agt??? each $500? wakakakakakaka

so tenant...sometimes give and take la.....pay abit of comm and let everybody happy la....wakakakakakaka

D15 yield is the worst and you recommend?

Hi, am new to this forum. Why D15 yield is the worst?

[price]

Hi, am new to this forum. Why D15 yield is the worst?

Yield = rental p.a. / purchase price

Denominator is high, numerator is not high enough.
