#106 What No One Tells You About Co-Buying Property With a Friend

Buying your first property is a significant milestone, but what happens when you decide to do it with a friend? George , Jun Wei, and Yu Rong from PropertyLimBrothers talk about crucial decisions that Ryan, a 28-year-old earning $6,000 per month, must make as he plans to co-own a property. They break down why floor plan efficiency matters for long-term value, how to spot price differences within the same development, and how much Ryan can actually afford to borrow.

 

More importantly, they tackle the tough but necessary questions: What happens if one party wants to sell? Gets married? Loses their job? Can a legal agreement protect both owners? Plus, they reveal why 900+ sqft three-bedders are becoming hot investments, if Yishun could be the next big thing, and what to expect in the 2025 property market.
