Icedbs Turbocharged April 9, 2013 Author Share April 9, 2013 Very interesting indeed! I like the 1-acre home in Arizona. 1-acre is about 43,560 sq feet. About 40 units of 5-rm flats! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP_Lee 5th Gear April 9, 2013 Share April 9, 2013 There are always reasons to be cheap. Fly there and check it out yourself. Talk to the locals, willing to share the neighbourhood truth. I have actually been to US about 2 years back, after a US property show in Singapore. Looks very attractive initially. So when down together with a few friends, and later found out other wise.

One get old, will need better accessibility. Those are far away places and may have difficulties of getting immediate health related attention. They are only good for short term stay or a get away.

For instance, you can actually own a house, as in its yours, not leased. Also, you have to also imagine. Even 40km journey, people complain far. In other bigger place, buying a house, limited greatly the places you can work. When the country is less dense, working places are far apart, easily over 100km. If you rent for instance, you can move easily from city to city. Anyway, nope of these can beat our hosuing in Singapore, unless they have a shopping mall with 5 km radius Edited April 9, 2013 by Kiadaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP_Lee 5th Gear April 10, 2013 Share April 10, 2013 (edited) So in your opinion, your malaysia home is better than the one in arizona? I have one in JB, which I bought 7 years again. Nice environment and currently rented out. It only 15 - 25 mins drive. Planning to buy another in KLCC. But not now.
