Thinking of buying a property for rental purpose by cash. No point hoarding too much cash when FD so low. What do you guys thing? Unker also old already, cannot and don't want to take loan anyway.

For purpose of adding another passive income. I calculated i can get 5% p.a returns. Good or bad idea? Or Cash is King?

The first 2 years of rental collection goes toward the cost of purchase, agent's fee, basic reno and fittings .... 0% returns

3rd year collection ... about 40% goes toward agent's fee, repair and painting if the 1st tenant leave.

Other than mentioned above, investor have to take into consideration of void period, tenant's profile and capital appreciation, if any.

btw, if letting out condo, who pays the sinking fees? Landlord or tenant?

Just be sure to get those properties in good location ie always someone who wants to rent. If you think about it, not having a tenant for a couple of months a year will already hit your 5% margin.

And yes, with covid, a few of my tenants have asked for discount.

Same my tenants also asked for discount. Ok lah, sikit-sikit, i help you, you help me. One fella even cannot pay for 1 or 2 months, but since he is with me for many years, ok lah. Unker just treat as helping friend.

But i haven't have a condo property to let so far. Thinking of buying another property to stay while current condo let it out.
