This week on NOTG, Melvin Lim, Jun Wei, and Alexa from PropertyLimBrothers take a closer look at two single personas—Ryan and Laura—who are at different stages in life but share the same journey of finding the perfect home.

Are you like Ryan, 28, seeking your own personal space in a modern community with strong investment potential? In his spring season, learn why Jun Wei suggests looking at private properties in the OCR, specifically Punggol East! Or are you more like Laura, 37, torn between HDB and private property? Looking for a home to stay in and for potential investment during her summer season, and with the price disparity, which is the better investment choice—HDB or condo?

The team also talks about considerations when buying with a friend, how priorities shift with different life stages, and the financial aspects of making a property decision that aligns with both personal and investment goals.

And if this episode got you thinking about your own property journey, don’t miss the chance to gain even more insights at Property Summit 2024! Join us on 26-27 October for a 2-day masterclass packed with expert knowledge on market trends, investment strategies, and all the tools you need to build a winning property portfolio. Just starting out or looking to grow your investments, this is the event to be at!
