I am just following what my grandparents have done for my parents and inturns what my parents have done for me. They have more than sufficient money and no squabble over money at each generation. I am just learning from them and passes on the teaching and investment approaches to my children. Preservation and creation of wealth.

My mother continuously pick issues to fight on about money all my life. Even though me and my siblings are not working we still give ample allowances and its never enough for her to go on her own shopping and touring sprees. She has never really spent a single cent on us. Its all my Dad money. He is the bo chap type who leaves all the money management to her. She has her own stash of half a million or so.

What do you do with such parents, if I may ask, respectfully?

[DC33_2008]

Surprise that you support your son to purchase Eco now as you seem a savvy investor.

My son counts left, counts right and share with me the reason for not going ahead.

wrong call on me
this is for my son, he needs to assess whether this is a good choice of asset class, and I am pleased that he made a very good decision and best is his reasoning from an investor's prospective.

Carbuncle ... I feel for you *HUGS*

I dont have parents who paid for my initial downpayment too, but when i took my first plunge, i knew my mum would support me if i ever run into any financial difficulties.

[carbuncle]

Anyway I learnt to look forward and not backwards.

So, decision is not to buy....

I am just doing my part to bring up my children, to avoid them to make mistakes which are always costly and irreversible and also how to make good and right decision if possible.

My poor boy is only 23, just graduated two months back. We have given him very intensive teaching in investment, including seminars etc, like talks by Jim Roger and Mary Buffett, bond market, etc. Somehow, the education system is rather inadequate in this aspect.

This is also a very good bonding process as we share views and talk like friends, going OTJ training like site visit etc. The feeling is very good.

[DC33_2008]

Looking forward to the day too.

Hi Laguna do you mind to share your reasons on why you decided not to buy into eco? I was at the actual site over the weekend and I quite like the surrounding area. I am looking to buy a second property for investment and this is my first time considering to buy a BUC kind of unit cos from my very elementary understanding of real estate investments, the biggest capital gain tends to be achieved between building phase and TOP and thus was hoping to get the max cap gain on this second property.

just less than 5min drive away,

FH 2BR Bleu @ East Coast going for $1200+ psf

FH 2BR Breeze by the East going for $1200+psf

http://www.propertyguru.com.sg/proje...bed=2&maxbed=2

[Emma]

Hiya thanks!
but i prefer big developments (full facilities and better maintenance in the long term). and for most TOP-ed projects, i don;t get the impression that psf price will go much further and the spike tends to be right after TOP.
the above is my observation and i could be totally wrong!

in general, prices tend to spike and plateau just before TOP.

well, assuming ECo hits $1400psf, do you think FH owners in the vicinity are going to ask for anything lesser?

absolutely love love love Bleu... esp units facing the back

with the 4 years SSD, u only can sell in the fifth year.

In fact, we like the project, but there are not many good stacks there.


This unit is for my son, when the project is TOP, it is about time for his marriage.

He does not like the HDB surrounding...and want the money for his business venture..so call off.....

Anyway, I will buy if it is at $1180psf for the unit I want

Laguna, which stack would you recommend and $1180psf for a 2/3br condo would be good value?

I doubt very much can get $1180.

Let me know what is the meaning of good value to u first? is it in term of rental yield? for own stay?

Hmm, come to think of it, FEO actually delayed their expected launch by more than a month ... I rem the news article saying they wish to launch during the 7th month but it be ending this Sat and they launching next Fri?

Superstition or they simply could not get the showflat ready?

excellent strategy because they want to wait for the 1m HDB news to come out as well as ECB bond buying + QE3 annoucement
