The property advisor who buys what he recommends
I built a five property portfolio before turning 30 through Singapore's most active years of cooling measures. Every structure, every strategy, every mistake I made is now part of the methodology I use with clients.

The methodology
Money, Timing & Safety Property Portfolio Analysis
Most agents show you a listing. I show you a Money, Timing & Safety analysis that determines whether the deal makes sense for your specific situation before you sign anything.
What does the deal actually cost, all-in, and can you carry it? BSD, ABSD, legal fees, commission, renovation, plus the monthly reality: mortgage, maintenance, property tax, and rental income if any. I build the full transaction stack and stress test the monthly numbers at higher SORA scenarios before any client signs an OTP.
Where does this property fit in the 10 year portfolio plan? Is the exit clear? What's the upgrade path after this, and in what order should the moves happen? Every deal is evaluated for where it leads, not just what it costs today.
What breaks if things change? TDSR, MSR, MOP, SSD window, CPF accrued interest, ABSD remission eligibility, the rules layer where getting it wrong costs more than the commission saved. I check every regulatory constraint and downside before recommending a structure.
Why not a typical agent
Investor first mindset. Commission earning, but honest about the numbers.
Yes, I earn commission on completed transactions. That's the business. But I've walked away from deals and told clients not to buy when the numbers didn't work. I've done it with my own money too, which is why the advice is different.
Most agents are trained to close. I'm trained to analyse. The Property Portfolio Analysis came from losing money on one of my own properties in 2018 because I didn't stress test the hold period against my personal cashflow. That mistake is why the Money and Safety sides of the analysis exist.
When the deal is good, I'll tell you. When it isn't, I'll tell you that too and show you why, in writing.
Who I work with
Five types of client, one methodology.
HDB Upgraders
MOP ready families looking to move to a private condo. I work through the upgrade math: net proceeds, ABSD exposure, LTV, and whether to sell first or buy first.
Restructuring Couples
Married couples looking to own two properties simultaneously. The break even analysis determines whether restructuring saves more than it costs at your price point.
Property Investors
Existing property owners adding to the portfolio. I model the third property ABSD exposure and whether the rental yield justifies the permanent stamp duty cost.
Foreign Buyers
Non-residents navigating Singapore's 60% ABSD, LTV restrictions, and FTA exemptions. I work through the full legal structure before recommending any purchase.
Family Offices
Multi generation wealth allocation in Singapore real estate. Trust structures, living trusts for minors, and intergenerational property planning.
