In 1997 crisis, many investors are gamblers, want to get rich overnight. Property investment requires longer term in nature.
For newly purchase properties from developer, it needs 3 years to complete. Even for subsales it would be preferably to hold more than 5 years to avoid RPGT.
Similarly if the share investors able to hold 3-5 years after the 97 crisis. They are better off and sure making fantastic profit.
The quick flipping glory days are over. Investors are advised to mentally prepare to hold longer.
Buy to flip is not dissimilar to pre-1997 stock investor.
New launch take 3 to 4 years to vp, doesn't count as holding power especially those with dibs.
Among those who bought multiple units to flip, how many have other income to sustain all the loan repayment?

1997 financial crisis hit a lot to share market player. A lot of company become bankcrup to PN 17 and their share become penny stock. But for blue chip player who have holding power can still survive and make profit. For me you can't sustain in property investment if do not have holding power and buy property develop by lousy developer if if there is a crisis like 1997.
