Don't play with words. You think just by stating "With due respect" you are absolved from all blame? If you judged, you judged. Then don't claim like you're so magnanimous, dishing out advice but yet not judgmental. How about this: WITH DUE RESPECT, I think you're a stupid, arrogant and ugly...

What's wrong with you today? Are you Tekkun or his wife or someone else typing? You sound different. You mentioned recently you don't comment on people's views towards investing because there is no right or wrong. But now you are judging me and saying I am not ready to be in property...

As some believe, properties if held long enough, will always appreciate in price. I'm still "half hearted" on the above statement. Because this may take a very long time, price appreciation does not mean can sell off to cash out, and opportunity costs. If the time frame is too long, the...

My suspect is that the developers would have made decent profits from their sales of the other units. Even if they don't sell the remaining unsold units, they can still hang on to them until maybe 2-3 years' time when hopefully, market improves. (Or it may not.) The worry is more for the...

It's bad for investors since they are the ones who need to make the money. Yes, unlikely for locals to buy. So far, the proposed HSR is about 6km from Medini. By Singapore standard that's quite far. But if you drive, maybe considered near?

Wah... scary. Why you so smart? Maybe cos they are the biggest boy in Medini. Haha... but I didn't say anything. Actually, it doesn't matter who the developer is or what style they have. Of course all developers are in it for the money. No developer will say "Let's sit back and watch first. We...

Not that cannot invest in foreign countries but know thy risks, as I have repeated many times. Problem is, many don't know and just chiong in. Singaporeans are such. Got money but very gullible. That's why scammers love to target them. Where are all the agents who promoted Iskandar in 2013? Gone...

Property purchase in Iskandar in RECENT TIMES (not pre-2013) have some similarity in that people rushed in thinking it's cheap and they can make good money. It's just like CLOB. Yes, the government in different countries can implement stiff measures to cool the market. For eg, in Singapore...

That's why I'm wondering if it's so simple. I've a friend who told me an agent approached him recently. Advised him to buy a property in SG. Reasoning is that prices may still be high now but it will be even higher next time! So now is a good time to buy. Reap profits later. Treat it like a...

I don't mean buy for own occupancy but for investment. Cos I've heard some saying "property will appreciate". So be it Iskandar or other countries, even if SG if one can afford it, it's a no-brainer to just put down the money and years later, it will grow?

Does that mean it is advisable for those who can afford it to now just buy say, a condo in Iskandar or maybe any property in other countries? Treat it as a long term "savings plan". Sleep, don't touch the money, and wake up 20 years later, the S$300k becomes S$600k or more.

I always prefer to call a spade a spade. Don't look at things any worse or better than they are. KNOW YOUR RISKS. That's the key point. Here's someone's sharing about CLOB shares: SATURDAY, 2 MARCH 2013 The CLOB shares saga "Although I am Singaporean, the first shares that I had were...

Maybe the early buyers got to wait years later before market picks up again? Even the stats they can play around sometimes. The situation could be worse than 1/3 empty? Johor doesn't seem to show transparent property transaction records like Singapore. All those cunning agents who used to...

Surprised they so upfront and frank about this now. And among those already sold, many are still left unoccupied. Maybe needs time....

As long as got water, can liao. I realize many Singaporeans are pitiful. They look out of window and always see other concrete blocks and roads. Very boring. That's why even if can see longkang, they happy. And such properties command higher prices in SG. The developers will call their condo...

Whenever I brought up the question to the property agents or marketer regarding Who to rent/sell to, lack of this and that, their standard answer would always be this: Do you want to wait until everything is in place then buy? By then, prices will be so much higher. With or without the...

Can't really say that. Opportunity costs are involved. Basically money is parked there indefinitely. Or for those with bank loans, every month money goes out (with interest) but no money coming in. Buyers must realize also the saying "Property prices will always go up" does not paint a complete...

Ok la. As long as the buyer is happy.

No need to worry about the traffic. Quite likely, it won't be half occupied. Many buyers are from China. I'm not sure if they buy to re-settle in JB? Or is to "wash money". Heard before CG was marketed in SG and Malaysia, the developer gave their own China buyers something like Buy 1, Get 1...

Notice that all these losses are from the higher-end properties. I see some parallels with those in Medini. Although properties in Medini sold at RM750-1000psf are often termed "high end", it's really because of their extremely high prices rather than luxurious fittings or design given. A...
