What are the things to look out for when Investing in Overseas Property
In a recent article in Business Times (30th Jan 2018), it was noted that Singapore outbound property investment hit a record high in 2017 at US$28.4 million which is at whopping 40% higher than US$20.4 million in 2016. We have always heard of this investment principle; “High Risk High Returns”, “Low Risks, Low Returns”. If this is true, then why is it that many Singapore Developers, Companies and Retail Investors have been looking outside of Singapore for Investments?
In fact, 2017 has been an exciting year for Overseas Projects as we have seen an increasing number of investors looking at overseas property in view of the potential higher return on investments. Cambodia, Bangkok, Vietnam has generate much interest from investors given the potential High Rental Yield and Capital appreciation at just a fraction of the prices in Singapore. Whereas Australia and London offers an unique opportunity for stable investments and/or for children’s education purpose. Some of these Overseas Property also offers Deferred Payment, Guaranteed Rental Return, Low Cast Outlay etc
While “High Risk High Returns”, “Low Risks, Low Returns” is true, i personally feel that we can somehow mitigate the risk by doing our due diligence and research before investing in Overseas Property or even in any form of investments.
So what are the things to look out for when Investing in Overseas Property;
