Book Synopsis
In real estate investments, ignorance costs. In Singapore, capital value of residential properties appreciates as a matter of course, but costs of ownership rise in tandem as well. If one does not do the homework on cash flows and overpays for a property, one may not achieve the financial freedom one aspires. The same principle applies to homeowners.

The 5 main Chapters of this book focuses on real estate investment calculations. It will explain the following:

The Rule-of-Thumb calculations – Capitalization Rate, Payback Period, and Cash-on-Cash Return
Using Return on Equity (ROE) calculation for forecasting of future investment returns
Using Profitability Index to calculate which old apartments ripe for collective sale will produce the highest rate of return, dollar for dollar
Forecast Capital Appreciation for one’s own home
Forecast Capital Appreciation for an Investment Property
