Hey guys,

I recently went to the free property investment program seminar by Jerome Tan. Turned out that it was a sales talk for his program that cost $3k. I left because I did not have that amount of money to spare currently. When back at home, I went to search it up, and found many bad reviews about it - that it was not worth the money.

So I was just wondering, does anyone know of any good programs or seminars that i can go and learn about property investment? I am willing to pay money for it, however, I really want to get some value from it.

Thanks!

some say good advise isn't cheap but if its so profitable, would they spend time doing it on their own or getting you to join their seminars?

Do you know that property investment would need alot more than 3k?

Important for property investment

1. A stable job (more than 6mth) above 4k (for Bank loan)

2. 60k plus in your CPF OA

3. 80k cash or more

This amount above would be enough to get something below 700k. :s8:

Check out this forum

CONDOsingapore.com - Singapore Condo Property Forum

While it has the inevitable fair share of rubbish, I find it useful for getting a feel of rates around various districts and things to watch out for when buying, selling, and renting.

Go for viewings. New developments, resale developments. Ask agents questions. For a start, view one property a week on average. When you're physically, verbally, mentally involved, you learn very fast. And you won't forget the lessons easily.

Visit districts, understand their tenant profiles, pros and cons. Visit the same place after 12 months and see if a new park sprung up. See if the "nearby" MRT is indeed 5 minutes walk away. See if you like the vibes of the place.

After 1 year, you will learn more than a $3000 course.

If you're considering shelling out course fee, spend it on cab fees and a rewarding lunch instead. They benefit you immediately, cost less, and make viewings a joy.

Good advice.

After several visits, you will learn that new developments are overhyped and overpriced and the "value" actually comes from resale developments and spotting gems before others do.

For example, you may discover that there is an older condo that is near a overhyped new launch that is actually closer to the upcoming MRT than the new launch,. yet the price hasn't moved much yet. The older condos, the price actually moves more slowly in response to news about new MRT line, so there is more time to buy... just do a study of the Downtown Line announcement and condos that are within walking distance (many of the overhyped new launches claimed to be near to DTL are actually really far away when it comes to walking) and see how the price took some time to move.

further more, if u are looking at oversea investment you need pure hard cash. Namely (Malaysia - jb/kl, Aussie, London) so far can only think of these 3 places.

I dunno if u are the type that is willing to pay 3k for someone to tell u the above that i've said. Of course some explicit information can be read on books and forums, but some tacit, like experiences in money making and sharing of experiences are something worth more than that.

Why not just network around ppl who do invest in properties, i hv a handful to begin with. I tell u their stories and mine as well for $200 u ok ? lol

Price move slowly.... by the time u buy and the MRT build finish, price still move slowly... get it ?

Just like buying freehold condo, no "time limit" like 99 years but, u buy expensive as a premium, sell as a premium. So what have u gained ?

Yes, nothing beats old fashion hard work and getting your hands (shoes) dirty.

those property courses is only useful if you exercise what you have learn, if not you only paid 3k for those to make money out of you.

and through their network, they will continue to sell you their development, which in turn they make one more time.

So they really make alot of money out from their students.

It is a huge network behind, and at the end of the day You are responsible for what you bought.

good luck.

Btw, I paid for the course, and i did learn some things there that are useful, but in my humble opinion, not worth the money.

hi all, I have a couple of Tony Robbins Unleash the Power Within Singapore 2018 event tickets of different categories to let go. Because Tony Robbins does not come to Singapore often, anyone who is interested please feel free to inbox me. Thanks in advance! Peace V

Please put it in the marketplace forum.

My tenant just agreed to extend for 2 more years at same rental but he pays S$250 a month for our maid to go clean their toilet. 3 students studying in nearby uni. With upcoming new and bigger condos, we consider ourselves lucky. Didn't pay for any investment seminar, gonna earn SS136k over 5 years from rental. Rental yield increased to 4.5%.

Did you give the $250 to your maid? Or you take a cut of it?
Tsk tsk.. Doing something illegal here either way.

+1 for entrepreneurship

Of course we pay our maid her share. Only need to clean a small toilet, easy money for her too. My hubby's idea, he charged even higher initially cause the toilet was really smelly and dirty after 6 months.

In other words, you take a cut for being middle-woman. Ha ha.

Anyway, this type of things should keep to yourself :p
