Hi all, I'm working overseas now and have the intention of coming back to retire. Question is, should I be buying a property now or buy only when I need it in the future? Looking at highrise for now...

Asking because generally I feel that:
1. Appreciate is slow/non-existent
2. From a foreign currency point of view, possibility of a loss in value is very real as seen from the steep depreciation of MYR
3. Rental yield is poor vs other investments say stocks

Feel free to correct me. And what advice would you give in terms of buying now vs future? Thanks!!

Thanks guys for your insight. Think I'll just wait instead...
