Physical Property or REITs: Practical Considerations

For the past few years in Singapore, we've seen two very different trends in the real estate market. Physical property prices have been growing steadily, often hitting new highs. At the same time, many S-REITs have seen their prices decline due to the headwind of rising interest rates. Now, with potential interest rate cuts on the table, S-REIT prices have begun to recover slightly. Naturally, more investors start taking a closer look at the sector and weighing their options.

To explore this topic in a more relatable way, I've created a new 8-minute storytelling video. The story is set in a cafe and features a conversation between Uncle Lim and a young couple, Jess and Ben, as they navigate this exact decision. The video dives into the practical, real-world considerations that go beyond just the numbers, including:

1. Upfront Capital
2. Monthly Commitment
3. Property Management
4. All Eggs in One Basket
5. Liquidity

Here is the full video:

I decided to try a storytelling style because I hope it makes exploring these topics a more enjoyable experience. This is a new format for me, and your feedback is incredibly valuable. If you'd like to support this new direction and see more videos in the future, I'd really appreciate it if you could like the video and subscribe to the REIT-TIREMENT channel.

Thank you for being part of this new step, and I wish you a fruitful investing journey.
