10 most expensive shoebox homes to rent in central region

From sbr.

10 most expensive shoebox private
homes to rent in central region rent for as much as $3,400 a month.

According to Square Foot Research,
about three quarter of the estimated 150 projects comprising shoebox units are currently located in the Central Region. Out of the 50 projects completed since 2012, 38 of them are located in the Central Region whereas the remaining are located outside of the CentralRegion,it
addded. Based on the total rental contracts signed in the past 6 quarters, Square Foot Research also said that the Central Region saw a higher rental take�up rate compared to Outside of Central Region. "The rental take�up rate for new projects
with shoebox units in district 9 and 10 is strong. Vivace saw a 91% take�up rate based on the number of rental contracts signed versus the estimated number of shoebox
units available," said Square Foot
Research. The research firm also said that it is interesting to note that the number of rental contracts signed within a year for RV Suites exceeded the number of shoebox units in the project. This, it said, may be due to rental contracts that are short�term in nature (6 months) that have expired or early termination on rental
contracts. Whichever the case may be, Square Foot Research said that the high replacement rate is yet another indication that rental
demand for such units is strong.

Living Large in Tiny Shoeboxes

Now that I have moved into yet another spanking new shoebox apartment, decorating and fixing stuff up from scratch, let me share some tips on living up the space to the fullest. 1. Go multi-purpose, multi-function Where space comes at a premium, every inch counts. You want to buy stuff that can perform dual, triple or more roles. Ikea has a lot of ready to use examples. Daybed - sofa, bed, storage rolled into one. Side table with storage.  Removable cover is also a serving tray. Pot holder, doubles up as table cloth. Chopping board, doubles up as placemats. Multi-cooker, steam, boil, cook rice at one go. Available in qoo10. Multi-function scissor - knife, scissors, can opener 2. Make use of vertical space Hangs over doors Fix a drop leaf table to the wall. Mount two heavy duty hooks onto the wall on either side of the table to hang up both folding chairs when not in use. 3. Foldable, stackable, nestable pieces save

Studio apartment investor goes all-in

2013 feb 18 Studio apartment investor goes all-in No diversification needed when one is young, property investor tells CAI HAOXIANG Most investors live by the virtues of diversification - that is, not putting all your eggs in one basket. Not Ryan Khoo Chung Ming. The 30-year-old bought his first apartment in his native Malaysia in 2007 when looking for a place to stay. Then, the market was not as buoyant. He spotted an opportunity for studio apartments and bought more and more, maxing out his borrowing limits. He even moved to Singapore in 2009 to get a higher-paying job so he could borrow even more. Today, he owns 13 apartments in Kuala Lumpur, a studio apartment in the United States, a studio apartment in Singapore, and has also invested in an office unit in Johor Baru and a hotel floor in KL. The total value of his portfolio has gone up and is now worth RM10 million (S$4 million). Half of the portfolio is yield-generating, with the remainder under construction. Like many who
