Some factors to consider when buying a property for investment Economic and business conditions The best time to buy property is when the economy is down and property prices are at their lowest. If you have the cash to invest, then you can do so. But if you would like an immediate return of investment, then you have to think about investing during these times since you have to see whether the property will be earning something for you. Timing of investment Time your investment so that you buy as prices are starting to increase, and sell before they decline. This is, of course, easier said than done. But experience and constant monitoring of market movements would help. You must have the financial resources to stay invested for some years, and shouldn’t bet on being able to make a quick profit on the property.
Housing and land policies Keep in touch with government policies, property developers’ plans and commercial banks’ practices as these may affect property prices.
Understand profits and risks Work using realistic figures when you do your sums on the cost of purchase and the expected return or income from the investment. In particular, you should assess how you’d be affected if the property market falls. That’s when your expected return/income would fall, while you’d still have to keep paying the housing instalment. Objectivity Be objective when you compare and analyze property investments. While emotions may influence your investment decisions, eg. you are attracted to the premises or locality, you should always keep in mind your reason for wanting to invest – most of the time, this would be to get an investment profit or rental. Good location A well-maintained property in a good location enhances its ability to produce a good rental income or a good price at the end of the investment. It’s thus important to make a physical inspection to ensure that the environment is suitable for occupation or investment. Maintenance of property Good maintenance should enhance the value of the property. For a landed property such as a terrace house or bungalow, you may want to consider appointing a professional to manage your property if you do not have the time. For condominiums and HDB flats, you will pay the management corporations and town councils to take care of the common property and common areas.
