The difference is one has multiple properties and the other had rental receipts. And they are very happy about it. Different people different strokes.
Definitely, what works for some does not work for others. Not everyone k qualify for loans anyway.. due to age, credibility issues. And not everyone can hold long term view.. to some .. due to age or health.. maybe 5 yrs is long term view

One can live in only 1 rented unit at anyone time whereas another can invest multiple units at the same time.
I am sure everyone here is able bodied and bankable. Agreed 5 year is a good term.
In my view is if one has to take a 20 year loan, then he should not in the business of investing but buy for own stay.
just my view... how many whom take 35 yr loans end up really hug onto that loan for that long. probably halfway sold off the property or even refinanced with another bank.
its jus my style. whether I have $$ or not, I always max to 35 years for all my properties.
even if I have $1 mil, $10mil, $100mil etc, I won't be looking at paying off my properties. I always go to the max for loans. I only manage risks from my sets of emergency funds.
Salute!!!
For me, I don't have the time nor patience.
Problem is to some, having a property in PH / Iskandar is not asset but liability...
Exactly. I assume those who read this forum has some interest in the properties of iskandar. If with all the signs and you are still not making the move, either for investment or retirement. Don't regret 10 years later when you still surviving on the monthly paycheck
I regretted shortly after buying a house and moving into JB.....for not having done so much earlier...

. The Sinkies aren't buying so much as in the past. Fret not. The Malaysians and PRCs and international community are all buying and moving into Iskandar. I read in another thread someone said manufacturing is faltering in Iskandar and no one is moving in yet. That chap obviously is one of those who read only Straits Times and never travel properly into Iskandar such as Senai or Kulai industrial places. The pace of developments is frightening as the lorries and containers volume are moving up very very fast
Hmm.. Again following up from my hunch a week or so ago... I get the feeling the Singapore establishment/higher-ups aren't so keen on Iskandar succeeding anymore. Perhaps, with a slowing economy and cooling property market, they would like to keep as much domestic spending in Singapore as possible. I didn't drive last week but queued for the bus to get back to Singapore over the weekend and it is crazy the number going back across the Causeway, buying groceries and all sorts. I am not even sure the supply glut would be that bad if there were more nodes of entry - or if the RTS becomes a reality.
But that is the gist - I heard Singapore isn't really interested at this point of time. As I always say when I am here, to me the first test of seriousness is the ferry service to and from Puteri Harbour. Because there is nothing more to build - the CIQ is there already. And someone here said he visited there and was told that they were waiting for Singapore approval. I asked around some more and was told MPA was the one holding things up, not Malaysia....
Can just imagine with regular ferry service, a third link, the HSR, the RTS... Iskandar would almost become what NT is to HK Island... Question is, maybe that's not what Singapore wants, is it?
I got a funny hunch that the HSR will end in Nusajaya. SG can take as long as it wants but Forest City linking to KL will not stop as it is Country Garden on one end and the China Railway on the other as land owners. The link to Yunnan is the ultimate alternative to the existing shipping lanes. The Laos, Vietnam and Thailand railways had started construction, the geo political pressure on Malaysia to link up is too great to resist.
i won't be surprised. they can always call for the tender for ( Singapore - Puteri Iskandar )"new name for nusajaya" later on.
and by the time, KL - PI stretch completed, I feel the one from Yunan - Bangkok would have completed or even Bangkok - KL stretch on the way.
Jus look at it as 2 RTS, one at woodlands to johor and the other one from Jurong East to Puteri Iskandar, make things much simpler.
