Yes, sky tan's success comes from his rich Vit M and holding power.Originally Posted by Kenshinto80
His rich vit M is leveraged from his past success so he wont die.
Even during storms, he can still hold.
Judgement comes later though it is essential.
Thats what bro Kenshinto80 means.
Ah If Thats wad he meant, i agreeOriginally Posted by Xan
God is fair to everyone. Rich or poor, Young or Old, we are all given 24 hours a day. Not a minute more or less. The difference is the rich multiply the time with the aid of tools or people to help them to succeed their goals and yet rewarding the people. Hence, property investment with leveraging of the bank is just another tool.![]()

What will the world become if time replaces all currencies.
property is a big ticket investment for many, when they buy it, they should be very confident of their decision because they've rationalised thoroughly why it deserves the price they pay. if just a few words in this forum can sway their decision, they should think harder in the next purchase they make. don't just follow the herd.Originally Posted by Xan
and i would maintain, that those who bought below 1150psf, probably have a decent buffer margin for error, those who bought at 1400psf and above, let's just say, if their prices, went to 1600psf, their neighbours who bought at 1000-1100psf would benefit far more than them from the appreciation perspective.

Unfortunately, people are emotional and driven by sentiments. Example, going to a showflat with everyone around you issuing cheque for the downpayment will influence the person to do the same. Hence, it is very important to do some research before visiting the showflat.![]()

As mentioned by someone that property investment is a big ticket item. Hence, it has to be a good investment for middle to long term. Otherwise, do not go in. A bad investment can set one by at least 10 years. There are not many 10 years in a life time.Originally Posted by kane
For first timer buying PC, definitely gan jiong though one might do alot of research and calculation. This is human nature. Imagine, this is the first time u putting in so much money.Originally Posted by kane
Buying PC during my time is a total different settings from now. Many Units TOP a year already still vacant and I can climb up and down to view different units, from 2 bedder to penthouse and the agent followed me faithfully. (where got such thing as buying by seeing the layout plans. We buy what we see)
Now? everyone signing cheque book on the spot and for another moment, the desired units are gone. There will be buyers who are not ready to rationalized on the spot, signed the cheque book and regret later, esp when they heard undesriable remarks. This is esp true to many first timer.
Seasoned ones, they usually dont care.
The tides is still rising but slowly.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
In today's settings and CMs, cannot rise too fast, the jetty can get flooded. Govt needs time to react and they dont like tides that rise too fast. If rise too fast, they will introduce desperate measures. If tides rise slowly, they can still observe closely and react accordingly.
Just myeven though this qns was not directed to me.
Sorry I kaypo.
They are supposed to use the gates at the marina barrage for it. Unfortunately, it does not work. Hope no more measures.![]()

Dont see the need why govt should panic now and build more dams (the CMs) as it only applies to project on case by case basis.

You choose not to comment on his offensive remarks but attacked my reply to his post? Just because he is also an owner of WT?
Sorry if I had hurt you so much to the extend you need to dig out all these past records. lol. I apologise then.Originally Posted by Jonathan0503
I understand and share his frustration when those gurus wannabes keep offering their so called "better alternatives" when the WT buyers had already made their choice and exercise their options. Trying to tell those buyers they never do their homework? Is there any value adding purposes? well I dont see any. Why want to make those who already committed feel uneasy?
Anyway, bro ulrich's remarks did not direct to you personally.
Btw, he is not vested in WT and he got a better deal than me. Seems like u never follow the thread closely.

Nonsense! The 4 bedders are paying 300 plus!Originally Posted by yjcai
Think it boils down to prestige - the mentality of living in the most expensive shopping district & most convenient to move around without owning a car for the expats especially. Actually it also depends on the particular type & age of unit, as some in Orchard area are comparable to other far away districts.Originally Posted by graveyard
We've got an expat who nearly rented a 1+1 bedrm in Sophia for $3K if not for owning a cat which the landlord forbade. He ended up renting an equivalent in Rangoon Rd near Farrer Pk MRT which allows pet at same rental. Nearly half his salary goes to the rental but he wants to be near to Orchard area and wont consider anywhere out of CBD. With our good public transportation connection, he could easily rented an HDB for half the cost and save more.
Ok, apologies accepted.Originally Posted by Xan
I agree it's not good to condemn and talk down on those who have bought a project. They must have reasons why they choose to buy
No prob, bro.Originally Posted by Jonathan0503
I lose my cool at times as well.
Yes, must admit im emotionally attached sometimes....sigh

Quite surprised too, 2 bedrm 700sf near DhobyGhaut MRT going for $3,100. Probably those near Wilkie Rd are either old or walk-up aptOriginally Posted by DC33_2008

Good to buy FH or 999LH near MRT to keep. I dun dare to touch e rest. Era of easy money is gone. It is more abt wealth preservation.Originally Posted by DC33_2008
Oh so it did not cross the 400 barrier?Originally Posted by Mohankrish
Affordable means small
when analysing an investment, first list down all the confirmed facts...fact 1 there will be a lot of rental supply coming in punggol, sengkang area from the unlimited hdb and condos launched there. fact 2 the only demand come from seletar aero space hub...u can build up the list and do ur own analysis and conclusion.not vested in this area.never rely on others, if u do means that u have not thoroughly think thru the investment i.e.u probably bought on impulse.

Hi Jonathan, sorry if my post offended u. Just my general frustration with forummers who say there are props in good location where price is good, but never say which development to back it up. It's like edmw forum NPNTOriginally Posted by Xan
Totally agree if you are coming purely from an investor's angle.Originally Posted by Allthepies
I believe there is also a fair share of those who want to live in and enjoy the conveniences and amenities at WT.
