Property

Buy to live. Let time do the rest.

Most people chase capital gain. I chase a home I actually want to live in, and assets that work while I hold them. Six properties and over a million dollars in realised and unrealised gains back that up.

Start here

Don't buy to rent out and wait for the market. Buy what makes sense for your life, live in it, and time does the heavy lifting.

01

How I think about property

Why the unit matters more than the district, and why I think "sell one, buy two" is usually the wrong move.

02

The whole journey

Every property decision in order, from a $130k Yishun flat onward. Including the one that went sideways first.
