Life may not have many 10 years but the worst is made a wrong decision and burden for 30 years.

10 years is a bit far away icemanfx, but i dunno where are you now, i mean age... having said that, there will always be property at any time of age, just the pricing.. not turning back against our DDD gangs, if you are young, you got alot of chance, but importantly, i am sure you wont listen to BBB blindly and buy.. but if you are old like me unker, gotta make certain targets/timeline

keep options open, got good deal any time grab it..

Take maximum years for flexi loan, and dump in any extra money. Usually house loan will be settled sooner than expected because employment salary will increase, and also from passive income

Depending on how they package,  developer gross margin is minimum 50%.

If economic theory is irrelevant,  why bother to teach or employ economist at central banks?
In economy,  if flippers profit is greater than "normal"; developers could 1. Increase price 2. Withhold availability and sell later at a higher price. There are reasons why developers allowed flippers to make excessive profit.

Belive it is consensus that flipper is holding average of 4 units. Are you at, below or above average?

After gross profit, most other cost and expenses is controllable. To most developers, how much net profit is depending on how much profit the cfo wish to declare and how much tax they planned to pay.

Economist look at the big picture, use comprehensive data. Their opinion is usually quite accurate, like you said, for one whole country and is generally valid for long term.
Street smart investor look at local data, gauge by their gut feelings, and if lucky can make a killing during certain period. Their data is limited to what they see and feel.

just like genting. The casino will always win. They have done the calculations and know how to beat you at the game.
Some lucky people will also win. And they think everybody can win and they can win all the time.
But majority will burn their fingers, because the odds are simply against them.

That is the essence of a crisis. Too many people hoping to win, when in reality, only a few can win.

How to be a winner? Become a developer.
The developers are the ones who will always win, at every cycle.

Anybody who thinks Malaysia is different, needs to have a quick lesson in financial crisis history.

Nothing is definite in this world.

From what we read, the comments from the student/economist sounded like koktoking. So do comments of many from both camps. Of course there are many exceptions which really have subtance. It is not very clever to believe everything in the internet. You need some wisdom to read between the lines so that you can extract the useful knowledge  for you own application.

The lesser transaction also part of this herd behavior. Many dono that prop prices won't go down because of the lite version of cooling measure, they believe the very far away day is very near day, playing wait and see. Until the time they realize the real affordability is something that can be easily manipulate by government, then they will see we achieve another mile stone.
