What are the key considerations before I buy?
How do I know that I am not overpaying?
Am I buying into the next hotspot or the next bubble?
When is the best time and what is the best way to buy?

Beware of currency fluctuations

It is only justified to put your money
overseas when the cashflow and profit are
much better than what you can find at
home.

4 must-ask questions before you invest
1. Who are the other buyers?
2. Can you trust them?
3. Why are the locals not buying?
4. Where is the secondary market?
Property Club Singapore © 201612http://PropertySoul.com
Only invest in what you know.
Never buy in any market that you know
little about.

The best way to avoid being scammed is to
focus on what’s local to you … to physically
go and look at each project — to ensure
that they really exist.

"I have read only one book multiple times so far in my life - The Intelligent Investor by
Benjamin Graham. Your book is the 2nd book that I will reread for many times." - Martin
"Thank you for all your sharing. I find your book to be the best property investment
book that I have ever read." - Chee Hoe
“Thanks for writing and sharing your personal experience. It is much better than other
books written by agent team leaders or other KEOs/CEOs that I have read.” – Yourong
No B.S. Guide to Property Investment
"A good load of info and much better than those from seminars/courses. Thanks for sharing!" - Thomas
The book is filled with real life experiences and honest sharing of strategies in property investment and
provides readers a complete guide to it." - SG Young Investment
"I genuinely believe that your book will probably save me a great deal of angst and heartache in the future. I
have already applied some of your lessons and backed out of buying a property which I was unsure of. I
realize that this was indeed a good decision and worth many times the cost of your book." - Andrew
Retail Price: $29.96

1. Property is NOT a safe investment.
2. Don’t follow the crowd.
3. Forget conventional wisdom.
4. Listen to the ‘experts’ with a pinch of salt.
5. Get-rich-quick programs won’t work.
6. Property is a cycle.
7. Have the guts to be a contrarian.
8. Property riches = buy and sell right property at the right time
with the right price. Source: Property Soul, No B.S. Guide to Property Investment
