Dear sir/madam,

Whenever it comes to investment, my first question is always when do you plan to exit the investment?

In addition, why have you shortlisted a resale project in that age group for this investment?

Without understanding more about your plan and choice, it is difficult for us to provide accurate opinion on what should be the ideal choice for you because on the outlook of your description, both can be disastrous choice.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Good evening,

For investment, I would usually try to understand the clients objectives in doing so and the approximate timeline they are looking to exit the investment. Is it mainly for capital appreciation or for the recurring rental income that the property can produce?

The tenure is not necessarily important, as both categories in Singapore has produced good performers. More importantly it is the entry price, any future infrastructure plans and transformation in the pipeline as potential price appreciation catalysts, and the rentability and proximity to tenant pools that can help to finance the investment.

Buying too old a development also has its risks as demand for older condos will stagnate as it gets to certain age and no longer appeal as much as newer condos (be it tenants or buyers).

May I know which condos you have shortlisted? Happy to share the pros & cons of the development.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

-- HDB Yishun BTO 5-RM Sellers, Private Property Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Koh --

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan. Read More

Hi, I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Hope to hear from you soon and have a great week ahead. By the way, an older leasehold condo may seem cheaper but you may not get a good capital appreciation when the time comes should you decide to sell it.

Hi,

I'm abit puzzled, with the many options in today's market, may I know what's your rationale for limiting yourself to a 10-15 year old condo for investment purpose?

And you mentioned it's an old condo, and rental is low? Doesn't sound like a good investment to me. Or is there something special about this condo that attracts you?

May I know what's your expectations from this purchase? And also your plans going forward? Do you also have an exit plan for this investment?

I am experienced and well-versed in private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  .

Thank you.

Hi there,

Don't limit yourself to 10/15yrs, freehold/leasehold etc.

There are many other factors involved, such as developer track record, resident profile, rental demand, future potential etc.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further.
