Off-topic a bit...
What is the typical rental yield for a low-mid cost apartment?
Just curious for comparison...
Say, I buy a RM200K apartment... what is the annual rent that I can expect
VS
I invest RM200K in REIT(s)...the dividends that I expect

the major difference is also,
those who invest 200k in apartment do it without forking up the physical 200K.
Maybe only less than 30% of the 200k. Balance 70% is BORRROWED MONEY.
whereas REIT.. u hv to fork up the physical 200k.
so, Property investment to me bit Hi-Risk, coz using LEVERAGE MONEY.
Depends also yr age group. if young, i would say go for the PROPERTY INVESTMENT using the
LEVERAGE MONEY as you can make YOUR MONEY WORK HARDER for you.
