Dear Investors,
Is this scene familiar to you…..
You are perfectly happy in your current living situation. It was Friday. Your wife had gone shopping with her brothers. You decided to meet up with your brother. It has been a few months since you had last saw him.
Your brother suggested meeting in the lobby in Intercontinental Hotel to drink some coffee for some conversation… It must be because he has some good news. It’s a pact that both of you have – that if there is some really good news that either one of you wanted to share, that person will suggest a nice place and foot the bill… something that you two had been doing before both of you decided to get married.
You met your brother, Keith. You thought he looked different. In fact, he looked relaxed and happy. He looked like he wanted to tell you something exciting. Well, you are not surprised. He usually has something interesting to tell you. He’s your brother, and you have known him for 30 over years, you know his “ways”.
Both of you sat down, and ordered your drinks. Finally, he can’t contain it anymore… He said,” I have some exciting news… I’ve just made $500,000! In 1 day! Remember I told you I decided to sell my property? I bought it and sold it!”
Your eyes popped wide opened, your jaws dropped, you go “Are you serious!”
Keith then proceed to tell you that he bought his property at $X amt in the beginning when the property cycle is in it’s doldrums, and sold it 3 or 4 years later when the property cycle is peaking. And he then started to tell you how many offers that came in, how many he rejected, and so on….
But whatever he’s saying, you are not listening… You are just too stunned for words.
You left the place, your mind reeling.
You cannot believe it! $500,000! That’s how much you could make in 3-4 years! Just a few years ago, Keith confided in you that he was in serious financial problem. How is that possible? You felt a bit pissed with your brother who didn’t tell you that there’s such a good deal and he didn’t inform you. “Some kind of brother” you thought. How did he do it? And the property he bought is near your workplace! You pass by it everyday! You are going to be reminded of it EVERYDAY when you go to work!
You decided that you had better buy a property too!
Maybe the dream of retiring when you are 55 years old will actually become true! Maybe you can retire by the beach!
Once you reach home, you cannot wait to tell your wife
You rushed up to your wife and said, “Dear, I’ve something exciting to tell you. You know my brother Keith? He made $500,000 just by selling his properties and he made a profit. Maybe we should be a real estate investor too! Maybe we can retire at 55 years old!”
Doubts from your wife
Your wife raised her eyebrow, wrinkled up her nose and replied,” Are you sure? Maybe he’s not telling u the whole story? Remember in 1997, how many people were bankrupted by the high prices that they bought their properties? Do you remember some of the reports in ST, saying that in 2007, even at it’s peak, some owners are still selling their properties at a loss?”
You got irritated. You are frustrated. And you just want to get in the game!
Here you are trying to make some money so that you and your wife can enjoy your retirement, and there is your wife, being a cold blanket. So, you replied impatiently, “Well, Keith can do it too. And I’ve honours for my degree! If he can do it, so can your husband! Don’t worry! I’ll do my research.”
And so your wife let the matter rest.
But you just can’t let it go…
The $500,000 profit that your brother has made kept looming in your mind. How did he do it? You must make the same profit too! You cannot lose! The profit that your brother made is egging you on. Over the next few months, you:
- Pored over every website that is about properties
- Read every news article about property
- Watch every news related to property
And yet, you know no better than before.
To make it even worse, you are totally confused because:
- For every article that said that it is time to buy, there is another article that said that the worse is not yet over. At the same time, people are buying properties, while the recession is still going on!
- You have absolutely no idea which property you should buy. Every property looks good to you.
- You are totally confused by what real estate agents tell you and what your friends tell you.
- You have heard of stories of people making the wrong move in real estate and you are afraid.
- You see all the news reports about people buying properties that are launched by real estate developers and you are afraid of missing out. You just do not know which advice you should listen.
- You feel that you have missed out from making a profit in 2007 and you want to get one before Singapore’s Integrated Resort is up but you do not know which type you should get.
- You suddenly realized that if you decide to take a loan when you are 40 years old, it means that you need to have a job till you are 60 years old. You are not sure whether you should take the plunge.
And finally, retiring at 55 years old seems too tempting to resist. You decided to buy a unit but just in case, you decided to discuss with your wife. Turns out, your wife is also very tempted to retire at 55 years old. But she has done a more thorough homework than you. She has talked to people from both sides: people who had been burnt by the property market, and people who had made profits. She told you that it is very difficult for someone who is burnt to recuperate from his losses.
