[QUOTE=Daredevil]If i remember correctly, due to 'stigma' associated with Geylang, 1055sf units in Atrium was going like 650-700k only. 3.9k rental for a 650k property is definitely WOW.Originally Posted by espeyap

[quote=JoyLye]All investment on property that happen back in 2005 to 2009 have definitely enjoy capital gain plus substantial rental yield regardless of which area. The only different is percentage gain.Originally Posted by Daredevil
However, property investment in 2011/2012, will there be any substantial gain in 2015/2016 or later??? Is anybody guess....
I was kinda attracted to the price and location of this project until just now when i accidentally drove into lorong 28 and see a row of "girls" standing in front of a row with guys cluttered around them, till then my interest of going in the showflat which is at lorong 30 sian 1/2 already. But i do feel geylang do hv its potential, as long as it is far away from the red light district.

Just thinking how to convert a single bedroom penthouse to a 2 bedroom penthouse.
How much rental can this unit fetch????
[quote=espeyap]how come missing 2010 ?Originally Posted by JoyLye
try not to buy penthse in such MM project
ultimately u r buying for rental yield.....get the most efficient layout with most bang for buck
remember MM provide for low end budget expats.......if they got 4k budget, they may not want to rent such MM project
But if the price is similar to 2 bedroom unit, which one will you go for?Originally Posted by devilplate
GE 2bdr about 650k.....so their 2bdr PH only 700k??? cannot be bcoz i remember the upper level is complete roof terrace and plus staircase it makes the living space below even smallerOriginally Posted by espeyap
1 bed PH vs 2 bed? maybe 2beds. I've seen the Parc Elegance's 1 bedroom PH. soooo tiny. the extra buck is really just for the stairsOriginally Posted by espeyap
Yes, 1 bdr penthouse is 650k also.Originally Posted by devilplate
Goodie goodie cheap price! But better dont touch PH in this project. When you relax and sip wine at your roof terrace your view would be rows after rows of briefs and bras... all shapes sizes and colors. I kid you not!Originally Posted by espeyap
GE fully Sold .....Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi
Well done.
Wow really? even the PHs? nice!Originally Posted by espeyap
Unbelieveable fast ... in less than 3 weeks.Originally Posted by price

I went to the showrm yesterday afternoon still have 2 units left... So fast gone liao ah.....
I. Am. Speechless. Geylang property owners, lots more competition for tenants coming up... Brace yourselves.Originally Posted by espeyap
Yes omg. i was just counting the number of projects on URA.Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi
Maybe some bought for own stay leh, not all are meant for renting. Some people simply like the location and food there. Afterall most of the activities happen in late night, most of the residents will be sleeping liao, who cares what they do.Originally Posted by mcmlxxvi
I bought a 2 bedroom + Home office at level 3, size abt 560sqf, prize$658000 = $1175psf. i bought on 18th of Feb (1 week past from VVIP preview)
i finally chose this project because:
1. freehold. (absolutely first reason)
2. cheaper price in centre area, my budget for 2 bedroom is below $700,000
3. near to Dakota MRT (i calulated the time from walking (slow walk) Dakota MRT to GE just only 12 mins.
4.have busstop nearby, and have direct bus (No70) only 10-20mins to my work place (Fuji Xerox building in Anson Road)
5. layout is good (Square shape,symmetrical room,坐南朝北,nice feng shui)
6. heard from agent this project is the biggest condo in Geylang area. others are mostly apartment no full facilities, but GE have no tennis court which make me feel bit shame but singapore sport hub is close can go there play play
In brochure TOP will be in 2017 but staff say will be in 2nd quarter 2015. hope can get the keys at soonest as why i buy 2 bedroom is i want to rent out 1 room and own stay another room. loan is approved very fast (within 4 days), 40 years . my lawyer told me another her clients bought GE (400+sqf,guess 1bedroom) also got loan very smoothly, by the way, the loan is from DBS.
last friday night went to showflat to see how many units havent yet sold out (only 9 left that day), we took that chance to look around the night scenery at lorong 30, ai, have to say. we saw the afraid things, there were at least 5-6 girls stand in the lorong 30 wearing very low cut clothes seduce the man pass by, ai, we even saw a man is quoting the price (he showed 3 fingers like to say : i only want to pay 30 dollers,ok? my hubby sid these chinkens accents sound like Vietnamese. hope this kind of things will be disappeared in year 2017, hope goverment will do something to clean this peple, pray pray.
my Hubby and me we are young couple, actually we are not very caring Gelang bad reputation, we care more about location (convinient) and price (below our budget), near dakota MRT and freehold attract me much. and lorong 30 is above lorong 20, hope after 5 years here will have more shopping mall, park etc good changes. if no that wouldn't be a problem. i ca stay at home at night or take taxi home if too late at night, compare to similar area in other contry i think gaylang is safe.
Congrats!! how old are you and ur hubby?Originally Posted by GE Purchaser
Oooo din noe can get 40yrs loan.....isit norm for all banks to offer 40?
OCBC used to loan me up to 70yrs old...Originally Posted by devilplate
560 sqft
2 br + home office (??)
Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?
Erm... Sorry for being kaypoh but i asume you will be moving in with your husband....Originally Posted by GE Purchaser
with 2 bedrooms ( and balconies!!!!) squeezed into 560 sq ft,
I really doubt you have enough space for both of you!, let alone rent out a room to a 3rd person.....
Did you realised how small the wardrobe is? there is no space for additional carpentry.. how are you going to store your clothes, shoes, bags, and other barangs barangs of 2 adults??
even if you don't mind, I think the prospective tenant will thnk twice renting such a room...
I think you might have lacked consideration on some living basics.....
IMHO.
hope i din offend you. Just trying to give a gentle reminder.
I stayed alone is a 560sqft apartment with 2 balconies before and I am a bachelor with minimal barangs....
3 words.
NOT-ENOUGH-SPACE.
