Have been very successful with this strategy during last slump with SREIT.

If you have 200k, you won't be satisfied with an income of 1k per month lah

passive income...... not bad i think.

at least, that is my target now...

My bad, I thought you are the one who want to retire at 40, with 1k passive income

wah, 200k with 1k/mth very good already loh! it's like bought a cheap house but able to rent out high fees woh!

i am way over 40 liao.... how i wish i can retire at 50....

It is never too late. Remember the saying "Better late than never"
Over 40 you are at your peak in career and earning. Try to put more money aside and invest smartly.

The first step is alway difficult as you get the hang of it. Then it will be smooth sailing.

Hassle free on collecting rentals & etc. Money automatically banked in

HONG KONG--Malaysia's KLCC Property Holdings Bhd (5089.KU), which is partly owned by state-run oil and gas company Petronas Nasional Bhd, is seeking to raise as much as US$1 billion via a listing of a real estate investment trust, people familiar with the deal said Tuesday.

Petronas has invited various local and international banks to submit their proposals for the REIT that will be based on KLCC Property's assets, which include the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world's tallest buildings, Suria KLCC shopping mall, Mandarin Oriental hotel and office buildings in Kuala Lumpur's central business district.

Petronas, which owns a 31.7% stake in Kuala Lumpur-listed KLCC Property, could have a dual Malaysia-Singapore listing for the REIT, or list it in Malaysia only, the people said.

The listing could propel Kuala Lumpur further ahead as Asia's top initial public offering market, with US$5.79 billion raised there so far this year. It is followed by Hong Kong, with US$5.6 billion raised in the territory.

Malaysia has bucked the lull in the global equities market this year, hosting the world's second and third-largest initial public offerings--the $3.1 billion offering by palm oil plantation company Felda Global Ventures Holdings and the $2 billion one by Malaysia government-backed hospital operator IHH Healthcare Bhd.

KLCC Property first flagged plans to restructure the company in late June, and said it was looking into creating a structure as a REIT to optimize shareholder value. It said at that time that its plans were subject to approvals of relevant authorities, the board of KLCC Property and shareholders.

In a report after that announcement, Malaysian brokerage and bank Maybank said KLCC Property was likely to inject its mature assets into the REIT first, and properties it is developing later on to ensure earnings stability.

Petronas couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
