“Real” Estate Investments

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

When you buy a house, you don’t expect the developer of the property in question to come right up to your doorstep, to doubt your sincerity of purchase, and question your, er, financial repayment capabilities.

Assuming that one has already fell for a piece of real estate, after consideration of physical homely comfort (and excitingness, at times) and psychological well-being (you can’t expect someone to like a house beside kampung right?), he/she would naturally expect expectations to be lived up to.

What expectations, then? The same ones the brochure SMS’ed to you quoted of course, the same one the SMS promised to you, of course!

(Please note that nowadays no more paper brochures with heart shaped drawings on them. Now more high-tech already, since the Gahmen decrees that. Hence, all electronic. *Ahem*)

Sometimes, the ceilings leak, and the new homeowner has to try to hold it up with his bare hands, and sometimes he himself does something silly, such as dropping cookie crumbs from the other sweet cookie he ate the night before.

End up floor kena stain and forever cannot wipe clean.

(Silly of him to leave stains, though.)

..and at other times maybe the heat’s a little overwhelming until both the buyer can’t accept the room and vice-versa. But eventually, both still returns to the exact spot.

Then, HDB (not the developer, more like the invisible authorities) opens up new option - lease/loan.

Initially, the prospects seem really, rather interesting - full facilities usage, combined with jacuzzi and sensual massage & of course, lodging… but then Kelvin realises that he already used to be seeking such an alternative to home ownership.

Oh, the very high sudden costs required, and “test” fees, to make sure that its in, er, top shape and valuation. But return of investment rate (ROI) is damn power, also.

Can ask any *cough* MLM agent *cough*, such as Fredrik, Kelvin (the other one - my good buddy who gets negative returns with his landed property) and perhaps my “social” entreprenuer - Azree, who aspires setting up a freely accessible HOT property website. I’m sure they’ll agree.

(Yea, bros? Back me on this one hor.)

Still, despite the comparison between lease and own (Damn, this sounds like some NTUC car sharing ad I’ve seen in the MRT. Tried a Toyota Corolla the other day, can move, but top speed/acceleration sucks, seriously. Almost buang into my house some more.) one has the ultimate choice on which to opt for.

***..and you know the rest of the story. I’ve made my point, if you caught it.. ;)

    Sai: People like Venture Era only know how to point and say, “You see that man on the chair inside the room? He’s only 18, and he drives a BMW.” As what Fred (fredolution.com) suggested, you should reply with “Oh, BMW only? I drive a Lambo.”.

    Any guys or gals looking to make money from me can be assured nothing more than 2 dollar notes in my wallet - and less than $1 of coins in my pockets :(.
