    Thanks for your kind thoughts! You have raised valid points, a very observant property investor indeed! Current yield of LH properties is pretty low, not sure about future yields and future capital appreciation. The Poiz at Potong Pasir, a mixed development, is asking abt $1400 psf base...

    We are guessing if resale hdb price will continue to come down further? If we were to buy, it’s for keeps for the long term as you had mentioned. And only my son qualifies to buy. We are also contemplating between getting an old FH or a new LH condo BUC. For old FH, it really looks very run...

    Also, need to factor in non-resident income tax @26% for house owners who rent out their unit! At the end of the day, not much meat left, except holding on to some brick & mortar, which need maintenance & upkeep.

    Thanks for the highlights, will continue to monitor the market, still got plenty of time to look look see see, hopefully can get a good and cheap unit during this downturn. Resale HDB does not seem attractive at this moment, the major pull back is that the lease balance has gone off some 30 yrs...

    Malaysia My Second Home - mm2h

    Do consider to keep some money in Spore banks. If you had sold yr landed or intending to sell, maybe consider to buy a small condo for rental income. It's a nice feeling to have both cash and property on both sides of the causeway. We never know the future, just in case... Just a suggestion, no...

    Exchange Rates for RM

    Thank you all for your response. I think I might just have to drop the idea. It's too inconvenient to use this method, too much time and arrangements involved. Anyway, the money is not in yet. As I do not wish to leave the money in M'sian bank, may have to TT over in one lump sum when the time...

    Anybody can share how can I change ringgit to S$ with minimum exchange rate loss? For online banking, there is a charge of RM25, on top of that the exchange rate was like 3.11 from M'sia bank to S'pore bank. S$ to RM from S'pore money changer was like 3.05. For a fairly big sum of RM, the...
