U? Starbucks?
Thought lapsap bars +no-signboard massage places more appropriate?
Call me too yar if want hard-core tracking and execution results (and discussing at these places)

we go very tak-halal & VERY HARAM places to er.. discuss & explore thoughts/approaches/methodologies wan wor

eh? they look like 16 and above (age of consent) leh

Anyhow.. no $ to buy more REITs.. or second/third love

Doesn't it depend on the amount invested & also the management fees %pa?
eg.
for HLeB - my EOQ (economic order quantity) to get lowest % is around $2.8K
however, if i only invest $100, my cost of commission +stamp duty is about 13% one way
and if i sell, it'll be approximately double (assuming didn't go up/down)
VS
mutual funds' 2%

OR U talking about loooooooooong term holding for sure will keep forever & ever,
thus the additional 1.x% adds up & compounds?
IF U are, then let's look at discounting - as in NPV vs Future Value
ie.
if cost 13% on stocks VS 2% mutual funds, how many years to BEP (break even point)?

See - it DEPENDS on the sum invested & % of mgt fees too, right?

SGX listed worldwide REITs
Join us Anakin - the dark side will make U strong...

no need to see stars lar - just focus on a few that fits your portfolio lar
SGD, Yen, Rupiah, Euro, Won properties all ada

All MYR denominated REITs only?
SGD, AUD, USD, etc no wan to sniff/explore/do ar
hehehh

Being a devil's advocate here

wei.. REITs wor...

anyhow, if different channel (income investing, not REITs) - why not?
heck - US giants are getting income from US + world, then can also argue what hits world (China, ASEAN, BRI-C, etc.) hits US giants too. conundrum

oops - i stand corrected but er.. YTL how many fellow forumers are interested / holding ar?
well... i am since those days bought low/cheap, before it swapped with its SG brethren for hotels.

dangerous to newbies with their pseudo logic.
still have to do bullkaka-containment - thanks to the more learned forumers

seeking alpha until siao liao

Bit by bit lar bro.
If too many variables to ponder, Paralysis Through Analysis.. (i was guilty of PTA too )

i consider myself "newbie" to SGX - still doing via MY broker to buy (mostly) & sell (hardly).
the forex will eventually iron itself out if we are doing it consistently yearly (heheh - no $ to do monthly ma)
AND.. the added bonus of "currency value diversification" from only RM & USD (yes - i saw U in the US stocks thread/topic )

Just sharing a PTA's view - no right, wrong, just wong

and TAX, unless one goes underwater VS LHDN la

er.. property value won't crash like shares - like -20% -30%?
or -80%?

can share the long term 20 years/more data ka?
i'm curious - kind of newbie exploring real physical properties

OR if one's current means can't buy REITs cost effectively

IMHO - for old folks @ investing, methinks best to just buy direct REITs, no service charges and long-term killer, management fees and what not added on by them Mutual Funds / UTs' Companies.
that's just me - no value add, CUT!

eh - lelong value liao meh?
<seeking lelong REITs.. the hunger...>
