Buying Condo in Singapore by US Citizens

[chum94555]

Hello, Can anyone point me to the link of how a US CITIZEN (who is NOT Expat) located in US can buy an investment condominium in Singapore? I understand there are certain type properties non Singapore citizens cannot buy, but from those they can buy my questions are

Can a Condo be bought initially as an investment and rented out?

Mid term intent will be to occupy the Condo during occasional visit to the island

Any recommendations on Real Estate agents specializing in such transactions

Thanks in advance
