Hi, if your budget allows, then you could consider Queenstown area as that is a city fringe district. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

I would not recommend the Tanah Merah area as there are already more than 10 different developments within the same area and you will face strong competition either renting it out or selling in the future. In my opinion, you may want to look at other city fringe locations such as Paya Lebar or Toa Payoh areas.

I have done some analysis for my clients who are buying for investment and will be happy to share with you further. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and assist you!

Hi Anonymous,

That was a brilliant question.

If you start research on statistics, you will discover interesting data on properties near the fringes of the CBD. The quantum are usually lower yet rental yield remains attractive.

While the margins are narrow, buying at the right entry price and rental potential do make a significant impact on your portfolio over time.

Hi,

Before committing to a property, you should research and look into the potential tenant pool that the area can offer.

Comparing Queenstown and Tanah Merah, I would very much prefer Queenstown. Your potential tenants will be of "higher quality" professionals working in Bouna Vista, as well as near CBD and Orchard areas. This is a very big market.

But of course, apart from the above, the most important factor you should really look at is the entry price. By entering at this price for a particular project, where do you see your exit strategy? Have you done the relevant research to justify your entry, so that you can have a clear exit in place?

If you're keen to understand where I'm coming from, let's take this discussion further.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
