Realestate, is for the rich. I don't consider myself rich, so I have never made a point to study realestate in detail.
Around the age of 27, I made a token investment in realestate - a leasehold suburban flat, the cheapest I dared pay for. Around the age of 39, I made a second investment - a freehold urban apartment, mainly useful for entertaining guests. The shopping process for each of these involved a vast survey of the city's options for residential flats, and nearly nothing else.
Around the age of 42, I found myself looking to simplify logistics for the maintenance of old people in my family, so I began to survey all sorts of realestate, commercial and residential, land and buildings, throughout the peninsula of Malaysia. That was the last month, or so.
I figure, over the next 20 years, so roughly until I am 62 ( 2045 ), if I live that long, in Malaysia, and undistracted by greater responsibilities ... then I shall acquire more knowledge of realestate economics and property development. Also I should aim to save up enough to purchase a commercial-zoned property as an option to live in, for the longer term, while having the opportunity to hawk goods and services from time to time.
We shall see how that turns out. Either someone might have killed me, or revoked my citizenship, or jailed me, or ... gainfully employed me elsewhere.
