Hello, I only found this forum after my reno so everything is already completed. Bought a ground floor walk up near town area, 1,300 sf and gutted the whole thing. Had 2 access front & back doors so divided into 2 households so i can live at the back (garden area) while rent out the front studio to supplement my mortgage. Since its designed with the yuppies intention, I managed to squeeze in a plunge pool (call it a massive pond). Here are some pics of the back part where I live... http://www.renotalk.com/forum/gallery/album/111-villekulla/ I've moved overseas since then and rented it out for a tidy sum. however, the tenant doesn't like my priced designer swinging hammock chair from Moroso! So I'm selling it to a good home. only bought this year and ONLY 1 in Singapore. PM me for details Also, I'm trained as an architect, worked as a project manager most my career. I'm taking some time out from full time work and currently helping a couple renovate their walk up in Katong. This is my 4th renovation in 3 years (all as side projects), they have all done extremely well in returns. I specialise in maximising the captial for best rental income or sale. Previous 2 projects have raised the values of the properties by double. It didn't cost as much as it looks. That's the beauty of it I definitely learnt more from each project about construction methods, material etc. so I don't repeat the same mistakes. If you need any help, please feel free to contact me.
