I don’t know why her book is so popular. Can jus come into this forum to learn for free though ;)

Two possible reasons:
1) probably she offload everything and hope to get another at MSW price.
2) it’s always good to give all her podcast followers false hope that they can get to buy PC at MSW price by waiting indefinitely.

I would rather spend time watching reviews of each different projects (evaluating the pros and cons) and look for the right gem instead of preaching crash crash crash all the time.

His standards of scoring seems high, I recall him scoring highly for Penrose and Clavon other projects were pretty low- Reef, Landmark and Normaton Park.

In general, he has a tendency towards ocr property. You'll notice he scores them higher. Focus of course is on potential capital gain.

Of course he ignores some livability elements but that's understandable given he is coming from pov of investment.

He looks at it from the investment POV, thus far I would say pretty accurate but the sample size of the videos may be small as he only reviewed a few new launches. Will see when more properties are reviewed.

I wonder did he travel to all the sites to make his assessments?
Or just based on some source, like online map only?
Climbing up from CTE? LOL

Sometime I wonder he knows what he is talking about. :s22:

I am not trying to defend the project since I have vested interest, but I noticed some of his claimed facts is debatable

Time will tell.:)

If u notice his pricing gauge for his review was at $22xxpsf too, if below that psf the scores should be better in terms of exit strategy. Overall I think the scores should be closer to 7 if u entered $2000psf, of cos it’s not without risk either, and from investment POV, Clavon and Penrose should stand out more due to its lower entry price.

Hmm... the Clavon site was a HDB estate. I used to stay in Clementi and my late grandparent stayed at the same location where Clavon is. I am familiar with the place. The AYE highway is much noisier than CTE due to the heavy vehicles/container trucks passing by.
In term of amenities and location, Clavon is no way near Landmarks.
You pay a premium for the location and amenities. But the key is how much to ensure one don't overpay.

I believe in when one is to invest, importantly, he/she must consider if he/she is willing to stay at the place, and then entry price will be the next consideration.

It will be quality consideration first and then valuation. If the former fits the criteria and price is overvalue, don't invest.

If it passes the criteria (plus the 2 mentioned as most important), it might be good investment. At least the downside is limited while the upside will be depending on the overall property markets and government policies.

Just my 2 cents

Jus nice, am at Chinatown..

Landmark should be pretty convenient and near many amenities, during CNY and mid autumn fest it would be full of festival vibes around that area.

Congrats on ur purchase.. u bought a 2 bedder ah ;)

I’m surprised that there were no sales at Landmark for Feb/Mar, did a check Avenue South still moving at price points of above 2xxxpsf, maybe buyers would come back soon, or they were turned to Midtown Modern haha..

Although it's downtown, take note immediate vicinity is the jalan kukoh estates - quite poor neighborhood that may represent a ghetto in USA. Take note if intending to have family staying there

They may be very poor but most do not live a life of violent crime. Walk around their estate and you will see young kids with grandparents, students, just like any neighbourhood. It is not filthy too. They are just poor and some continue to make bad choices. Definitely not as bad as ghetto I feel

There dont seem to be spill over effect to chin swee side. At least we don't hear of higher crime rate at chin swee area except for a one-off high profile case which can happen anywhere actually.

Just my thoughts.

Do watch this video from the lenses of children of jalan kukoh

https://youtu.be/j6u8Z6J3IaM

Another video for some honest insights. Poor but not as scary as people say they are.

I am not trying to defend Landmark. But can't help laughing when one keep pointing to jalan kukoh estates. Reading too much from any narrow minded articles?

One simple question, to name a few, is Dorsett Residences, One Perl Bank, River Place(specially) very far from jalan kukoh estates?

Given these condos are just near to each others and in between heritage places, prime entertainment site and CBD, does it means they are also affected by jalan kukoh estates?

To add on, jalan kukoh estates was built in the 1970s,
it is overdue for redevelopment given its prime location.
Same apply to the hotel next to Landmarks. Do study the URA plan, surrounding Landmarks and OPB, there are a few good sites that could be redeveloped for public/private housing, freeing out the old HDB estates nearby for re-development(Ah Gong can make more money and add value to the surroundings)

F.Y.I, the HDB block nearby at 53/54, 3 bedder is selling over >450k, for 40 years old units, do you consider it cheap?
