Thanks ngl2010 for your sharing and also the advice on buying commercial. Yes, my friend's commercial properties (brand new freehold, small retail units) all no tenants.


What should we do with our overseas properties next time? Leave in our legacy to children, or to flip and get rid of before we say bye bye? Which is the better option?

Friend's hubby is Malaysian and he bought an Iskandar landed terrace for only RM500K. Foreigners must buy something at least RM1million... although it's only S$350K thereabouts for a semi-D, the worry is that we may find it hard to resell as well. Land is aplenty there...

BTW, is Iskandar counted as JB? Or only cannot buy CIQ side...eg Taman Sentosa etc?
Agree with Pirate. We plan to divest all of our overseas properties before we are 60 years old.

Sorry I can't give any advice on JB properties at all. We don't see JB properties as attractive so we didn't do any study there.

I would plan to get rid of it (either by selling it or giving it to children) before saying bye bye. Having to take out probate in a foreign country just to deal with one property there can be a real pain for your legatees. And if you have properties in various different jurisdictions... :faint:

We got offer for Tokyo. But population is dwindling so we don’t think the price will increase a lot.

We also got offer for UK property near an old airport. Seriously? Air traffic there is stagnant so we declined the offer.

Jakarta only allows foreigners to buy high end condos. The problem is the rich don’t want to stay in condos. The poor only buy low end condos. It will be hard to rent it out. There are many new condos popping up also. So better to buy landed but need locals’ names to buy landed property. Need to have trustworthy locals. Price has been stagnant for the past 2-3 years because economy is not good. It maybe good time to buy. Maybe only. Politics is not stable there so it is another factor to consider.

ngl2010:


Don't buy in JB. Not even for retirement. Supply is higher than demand. If want to retire there, can always rent. Once the condo is old, find newer condo to rent.
JMHO
That's what my ex-colleague shared. Not only in terms of rent....but more in terms of security :nailbite: 😓
Renting also helps to take care of the forex when it's in our favour.

Good to invest now? Just wondering as quite a few of my ex colleagues bought condo there as holiday home cum retirement home, roughly about 5 to 7 years ago as they claim it was a good buy back then?

It's news like these that make me half-hearted... maybe should buy commercial in SG instead...thanks NBM

I saw a lot of empty commercial properties in Singapore. Do your homework before you buy.

I have some experiences in overseas properties. My enemy is exchange rate 😆 Timing must be good too. Hong Kong now has increased its stamp duty so it is no longer a good time to buy there. Some states in Australia has also imposed tax on overseas buyers. The price has also increased a lot. Not sure whether it is property bubble. We regretted we didn't buy a property in Macau a few years ago. The price has tripled. We didn't go there recently so we don't know how the property market there now. However, Macau buildings didn't have regulations on typhoon so they suffered a lot recently. I heard USA has complicated property tax gain. Yet to venture there but the price had exceeded 2008 price. Property bubble? China is attractive but we don't have any trustworthy relatives that we can tag along to buy. We usually have trustworthy local relatives that we partnered because they know the location, market, regulations, developer, etc better than we are.

Don't buy in JB. Not even for retirement. Supply is higher than demand. If want to retire there, can always rent. Once the condo is old, find newer condo to rent.

JMHO

I heard it’d be hard to resell due to many restrictions and oversupply.
Dunno how to act on this… hoping someone with experience can care to share a few pointers. Thanks

Anyone done this recently?


Is it difficult for first-timer and noob? Any danger zones?

Better to buy from sales exhibitions in SG or to fly there and ask their local agents?

Considering this for our retirement home... and partly for investment since no ABSD.

Can Pm me if not comfortable with sharing here... thanks!
I have no experience
If I were rich enough, I would still retire in spore bec my roots are here. I think the medical care is utmost importance esp old age and I think spore's is ok

Hi, maybe you have read it. Just saw an article relating to the Australia's property in the propertyguru.com.sg.

Thank you, MrsKiasu.
