Warrior88 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 Good examples! What about IPO? Long time no follow share liao, just dump some in investment funds, up/down also very slow. Suit my pace. But notice all China Bank IPO all up after launching. Looks good for NOW. But very HIGH risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sporty 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 "investment" could have a few interpretations: 1. Own stay, wait for appreciation & sell 2. Rent out 3. Vacant, wait for appreation 4. Flipping=subsale For 1,2,3 need reconsideration for those L99 resale. For renting out purposes I will only consider L99 yrs condo. This is because 99-year leasehold properties enjoy higher rental yields than freehold ones as they usually cost less. A property's tenure - freehold or leasehold - does not affect the rental value as much as it does the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bank loan face restrictions for L99 with less than 60 tenure. Rental yield is more of location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior88 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 I will never keep a L99 yrs condo for more than 15 yrs. Many buyers still buy L99 that are more than 20yrs. Dunno whats the strategy, unless they see Enbloc potential. By the way, there are still FH that are pretty cheap in the market like $650/sq ft. as compare to $750 for a New EC with restrictions.

(which we must gif it back if we sold) other then tat i guess there is not much pros ba especially given its location EC used to be a good buy 10 years ago. But now with DBSS, many think they can do away with the facility, after all must pay more charges. When DBSS smack in between, EC must move up. So many category now. Maybe more to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
