In order to sell higher, need to have GOOD tenant.Who to sell higher price?
1) Sell to tenant. Because you increase rental every year or every 2 years. So tenant also not stupid, they will buy from you and pay for themselve. With GOOD tenant,you can sell your property with 20% higher compare to other
2) Business investor. For business investor, they won't park their money in with the bank which only give merely 3%. As long as your property having high yield and Healthy cash flow, they will buy from you even with 20% higher than market price

Where is BEST LOCATION to invest?
She said that "It is not about what you invest but HOW you INVEST"

Why property investment?
1. everything is getting more and more expensive,inflation kick in
2. Space is getting smaller and smaller, developer launching 200 sqft now in KL, some thinking of 100 sqft (holy shit)
3. to make your money work harder for you through LEVERAGING

For those has property have you thought of below?
1) Do you know your property cash flow?Is your cash flow is positive, neutral or negative?
2) What cost y buy and hold the property? New property required 6-12 months holding capability

Importance of HEALTHY Cash Flow (Positive & NEUTRAL)
-stand out from the rest and gain more value of your property
-suffcient fund (to buy more property)
-stress reliever (No stress for the monthly commitment)
-Credit credibility improved (Must love your banker)

You can download the report from iproperty.com
There is a market sentiment report 2013, at page 12 read it there.It mentioned that motivation to buy Property:41% is for rental income, 27% is for capital appreciation.


With this, we as a Property Entrepreneur need to master the skill of LAND LORDING......

Police will arrive in 15 mins.

Cashflow is power
-Duplication of profits
