House with mortgage may not be a liability. Property in many countries has grow many time faster than income and inflation rate. With leverage and HOLDING POWER. House with mortgage can be the biggest asset.

With regards to real estate investment, the biggest asset is not cash. Many people does not realize that the biggest asset is the ability to borrow and young age to borrow longer.

A 30 year old investor can borrow up to 40year in Singapore. At 2% the monthly installment is 3028. Work out to 36336 annually. This investor need to keep 8years reserve of this amount to be able to hold through a property cycle usually abt 8 years. This mat to 291,000 reserve.

Conversely for a 50 years old investors, he need to have a reserve of 485000 to last him 8 years.

Debt is good as long as you keep 5-8years of installment reserves. The more you borrow the more reserves you should keep.

Where to find the reserves? For the lucky one, you can take an equity loan on your property if your property increase in value over the years. For the lucky ones, they have to working harder to earn their reserves.

The more successful investors do not use their own money to invest, they use others money.
This way the ROE is very huge or infinite as they use none or little of their own capital.

Hope this will shed some lights with regards to property investment using good debts.

hi danteakc, sorry to hear about your situation. Do share with us when you are able to resolve this issue. My rented place in HH is next to an empty house, dunno if anybody will move in in the next 2 years when I'm still staying there. Would really hate to face your kind of situation. Thanks.

heheh... teasing Sanur... From what I learned from my investment guru, the house that we stay in is also considered as a liability because we need to pay for it. When it is fully paid off, then it can be considered an asset. Another way to look at asset is whether it makes money for you or not.

I don't mean to "pour cold water", but in terms of looking for rental from students, the demand might not be strong because of the boarding hostels available within Educity. And it is usually the student pool that will drive rental prices because the parents will be willing to pay good money for their children to live comfortably and focus on their studies. E.g. in SS15 Subang Jaya, there are 4 colleges in that area and house owners actually rent out rooms on a per head basis. Each person is RM350, so if 8 persons stay in a double-storey house, the total rental is RM2800.

As for the working adults, professors and executives, the demand will depend on whether those projects take off, and we'll know in the next 2 years (2013). Having said that, there's high chance that the rental won't be able to cover the installments for places like Imperia or EL because the purchase price was very high and supply could be more than demand. As we know, most execs just want a place to stay/rest/etc. A small % will be willing to pay for small luxuries, so that means they wouldn't want to pay for a high rental. Just my thoughts... I could be wrong. TGIF!

Landmark Tower? Landmark Medical Centre? Close to Tropical Inn? Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Tun Abdul Razak? Travelling along Jalan Tun Abdul Razak towards Singapore, you may be able to see the steeple on your right as you approach the Tebrau Highway junction....... Haha lost? maybe you can try to goggle for these places.

Best to Key IN into GPS before set out , JB city is no joke to move around, miss a turn very difficult to U turn liao .
I never like going JB city unless bo pian . Still prefer the little Nusajaya / Bukit Indah town.

When I reach the end of Danga Bay, is it on the left(Danga Bay side) or right side(opposite of Danga Bay)?

It is on the left side, drive in a bit... right side going to main road liao... it is a big Chinese restaurant like the scale of longbeach.. It is called Grand Straits Garden Seafood Restaurant... the locals frequent it for celebrations... you can find it on google map

4 of us ate there... i remember we ordered a simple kampong chicken (stupid choice!), some vege, a lobster, a meat... RM300+ total bill
So this is not exactly cheap but probably slightly cheaper than SG

Exit Jalan Persiaran Danga, Danga Bay, 81200 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia

Some say chiku trees tend to invite bats, dont know how true is that. One thing is for sure, the chiku tree at my estate has bats.

Yes chiku, soursop and rambutan do attract bats at night . In old chinese beliefs bats bring wealth but you also need to offer your fruits in return ! :biggrin: In my old kampong we had many fruits trees and when you find half eaten or empty rambutan husks, you know bats have visited. If you do not like to attract bats try mangosteen , guava , durian , lemon. Personally I do not mind bats coming at night, till now I do not have chance to show my kids bats in the wild in SG. Flying fox ...the bigger bats seem to be totally disappear in SG wild. The last that I saw in the wild must be way back as a boy in kampong. I missed seeing those creatures but not the snake that also come at night for food.
