“It is not an individual have buy but when you sell that makes learn to your profit”.

Hence I consistently advise my investors to guantee that they have gone through their financial plans thoroughly as they will be entering into a 4-year commitment – after with the 4-year Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD) that they must pay if they sell their property before four years.

Once they have determined the amount of finances they are willing to outlay, they will set themselves at a boon by entering the property market and generating second income from rental yields regarding putting their cash in the bank. Based on the current market, I would advise these people keep a lookout for good investment property where prices have dropped an estimated 10% rather than putting it in a fixed deposit which pays .5% and does not hedge against inflation which currently stands at 5.7%.

In this aspect, my investors and I use the same page – we prefer to probably the current low pace and put our profit in property assets to produce a positive cash flow via rental income. I myself have personally seen some properties generating positive monthly cash flow of up to $1500 after off-setting mortgage costs. This equates a good annual passive income as high as $18 000 per annum which easily beats returns from fixed deposits and also outperforms dividend returns from stocks.

Even though prices of private properties have continued to elevate despite the economic uncertainty, we can easily see that the effect of the cooling measures have caused a slower rise in prices as in order to 2010.

Currently, we can see that although property prices are holding up, sales start to stagnate. I will attribute this into the following 2 reasons:

1) Many owners’ unwillingness to sell at more affordable prices and buyers’ unwillingness to commit to a higher value tag.

2) Existing demand for properties exceeding supply due to owners finding yourself in no hurry to sell, consequently in order to a embrace prices.

I would advise investors to view their Singapore property assets as long-term investments. Dealerships will have not be excessively alarmed by a slowdown your market property market as their assets will consistently benefit in time and increase in value due to the following:

a) Good governance in jade scape singapore

b) Land scarcity in Singapore, and,

c) Inflation which will place and upward pressure on prices

For clients who would like invest various other types of properties aside from the residential segment (such as New Launches & Resales), they might also consider investing in shophouses which likewise might help generate passive income; and therefore not subject to the recent government cooling measures such as the 16% SSD and 40% downpayment required on residential properties.

I cannot help but stress the importance of having ‘holding power’. You shouldn’t ever be expected to sell your stuff (and make a loss) even during a downturn. Always remember that the property market moves in a cyclical pattern and it’s sell only during an uptrend.
