Hi Mr chan,

since you have already make a profit from current property if you sell now. Can consider to do so and at the sametime pick up some good units in current market.

As my advice is to do some search before selling or purchase as it is up to you to decided as there are many answers to you in different advice. See some friends who are property investor as present market is not firm at the moment mayb can try somewhere June or July where t F1 is coming to town.

Mr Chan,

With limited information, we can only advice you to consider the following if you decided to rebalance your portfolio by selling your current property and purchasing 2 new properties:

1. Besides your property investment, you need to look into the gearing of your other investments.

2. Will the rental income in your new properties able to service the loan?

3. Given that your current property has already appreciate 60%, is it a good time to take profit?

4. The advantage of holding 2 properties instead of one is you spread out your investment risk.

Hope the above advice helps.
