Real Estate Property Investment
Real estate property investment in Singapore can be the easiest thing you have ever done; unlike the common perception and assumption that is there that it is cumbersome because of the flooding of the real estate market therein. Whether you buy a property to rent out or property for resale when prices go up, the fact remains that you will still be a landlord of that property, because you cannot keep a flat without tenants simply because it is for resale. Therefore, there are some few tips you should know so that your real estate property investment experience will be smooth.
First, do not jump into making a real estate property investment in a rush without first doing a study. Take some time; say several months, to study the market trend in the Singaporean real estate market. A real estate portal would be an ideal tool for such a study.
The advantage of using a real estate portal is that you need not be physically in Singapore, especially if you are a foreign investor who doesn’t reside in Singapore. From wherever you are it is possible to access hundreds of detailed portals online. Here, you will find property categorized by price, location, type, et cetera.
Second, be very careful on where the property is located when making a real estate property investment. Location will determine how much every apartment will be worth renting out, and it will also determine whether the tenants will be comfortably living there.
A flat with studio or one bedroom apartments would be ideal if it is located in a place near colleges or institutions of higher learning, all the rage shopping malls, hotels and discos, because of the students. If you opt for a flat with two, three or four bedroom apartments, then let it be located in a place ideal for a family. This means that it will have to be in a place where there are plenty of schools, social and entertainment amenities. A flat in a busy urban setting would mean that most of your tenants are commuters, and this would definitely require that the flat be at a place with easy access to transport.
If the flat is in the central business district, it would either have to be a business premises with offices and go-down halls to let or a hotel with restaurant, casino, laundry and accommodation services.
Also, when it comes to location of the real estate property investment, know what prime areas are and your proximity to these areas; because they are the best areas to be in. Remember to check the average amount of rent tenants pay per month within the locality of the property.
This will come in handy if you are being financed with a loan or a mortgage. Ensure that the total rent will not only cover monthly mortgage installment, but it will have at least an excess of twenty percent to cater for eventualities like vacant houses and urgent renovations and repairs.
