5. FH, new, top 2014/2015, 2-3beder penthhouse

Hmm for investment, I don't think any of e above are relevant or important things to look at. I would consider other factors like area (I.e. Ability to hold value), rental potential (rental drives pricing), other factor that could potentially increase value (I.e. MRT that has not been fully priced in, future launches in this area, enbloc potential, etc).

Em... thats what I thought too.. Thus, Marine Parade stretching up to Fort Road.

MRT Potential with beach front view.

Thanks for the inputs, yet, I'm aiming at "good" locations, eg especially mrt, good schools, bus interchange. As well as location not important (keep)

My real concerns are: (there is a saying on holding bird on palms: queeze too hard will die, don't squeeze will fly)

- Park ~300K till construction foundation lay, say end 2011 when 10% progressive starts, intestest gone = 5%x300kx1/12 = ~15k

- If buy existing (say 800~900K) and rent out, say till end 2011, at 2 ~2.5k/mnth for 12 months = 24K ~30k.

1. Price appreciation (jan 2011 ~ jan 2014): L99 resale(13 yr old upon selling, at jan 2014) vs L99 new (jan 2014 top).

1.1. L99 resale: (+24K+appraciation), L99new: (-15K+appriciation)

Question in doubt: Look like buying L99 resale is better? L99 resale(10yr old) now price seems skew hight, 3 yr after?

1.2 Risk factor - whether appre or depre, 3 yr after? I think must study recorded price trend for L99 with 10yr old. But more new L99 on the way, recorded data trend follows?

2. Age catching up, prefer one can watch stars at night and can do gardening at days. Location no longer important. Now where got cheap cheap ones, east area, FH. 1 ~ 1.6mil.
