Getting Advise On Renting Out Rooms At Pinnacle @ Duxton

[therat 18]

What are the document that you have asked from your tenants if they are not locals? Their employment pass and what else? I must make sure my tenants are not illegal immigrants hehe.

I'm not going to hire an agent to rent out my rooms cos I'm basically broke after paying for the resales unit purchase.

Thanks.

photocopy of employment pass and passport.

check the status of the employment pass @ MOM web. make sure it is valid before u sign anything or rent out.

When you are getting your keys? Pinnacle Duxton has 1800 units- that's alot.. I remember when Citisquare which has round 900 units TOP, everyone was rushing to rent out at the same time. So basically, you have to make your unit stand out - the basic amenities like fridge, w/machine would definitely be a draw. If you can find cheap and nice furnishings and maybe throw in a bed and mattress, which is in live-in condition, definitely easier to attract those expats who needs a place fast.. Otherwise your neighbours will be getting the tenants. remember the longer it is vacant, you are losing out on your monthly rental. if your rental is high, don't stinge on furniture and furnishings! cheers

Ehh.. I think P@D don't have much ppl will rent out their room. Seems like alot of rich folks staying there (from the looks of other forums), only me as one of the more down-to-earth practical guy will think of renting out. But still you have a point, but will expats want to rent rooms? I don't think my rent can fetch very high also anyway. it is still a HDB in the end.

I bet your rooms will have very good business when the IR and Resort World open! P@D is quite near to them who hire lots of foreigners.

If you refering to ang mo/japs, maybe not.. usually they whole for whole units

if philipinos, thais i guess they would rent rooms

Anyway pinos, usually rent in a group... they would rent the whole unit, than spilt the rooms among themselves

Hi Charemme, which nationality would be most fitting if i want to rent out to singles? would it be to malaysians since we are rather close culturally? I find most malaysian chinese very friendly.

I have malaysian tenants, burmese and thai tenants. I think all are quite ok...

I feel all these depends on lucks..it be good if you can get a considerate and nice tenant, who still bother to keep your place clean.

Personally I like thai.. cuz people are so nice and gentle

but importantly is you feel comfy with the people you be living together, so 1st impression really counts

Yo u did be surprised...i saw ang mor renting my parents neighbour flats in bedok south.

and another ang mor on another level, they cycle to mrt everyday.

Simple...go to those kind of expat forums and post see anyone want anot lor. Another way since telok blangah quite near NUS, can source for students as well if u dun mind...BUt student might be more havoc. Hahha

traditional way of posting ads in paper and online still yield better results...

It may be useful to use the services of the agent. At least the agent will be able to help you source for tenants, arrange viewing, do the paper work for you, etc... Cheers.
