Two jobs, one habit of asking for the working
I teach, and I advise on property. Those are not separate careers with a coincidence between them. The second one only makes sense because of the first.
What twenty years of marking does to how you read a pitch
Good presentation does not always mean good reasoning. I check the numbers, plans, risks and exit potential before recommending a property.
In practice that means taking the pricing apart, checking the location against what is actually planned, gazetted or tendered, asking whether the unit suits how your household really lives, and looking at the exit before the entry.
You should sign because you understood the case, including the weak parts of it, not because a brochure was persuasive.

Where the writing started
Undervalued Property Singapore (by Raymond Ya) is the Facebook page where this thinking is published week to week, and where the ads run. This site is the structured home for the same work: the framework in full, the guides, and the graded case studies.
