AI generated image of THE Singapore REIT that dividend investors should have I’ve been investing in Singapore REITs for years, having built a consistent dividend income around this asset class. Recently, I attended our 4th Diligence Wealth Club’s annual meet up under Willie’s community, which I wrote about in my blog last year when I was one of the panellists here. During this year’s meet up, a few members pulled me aside to ask about what REITs to buy to add to their incom

5 common mistakes Singapore REIT Investors Make As I progressed into the 12th year of investment since my first REIT, I decided to pen a post on the 5 common mistakes REIT investors may make. But instead of a theoretical piece (DO's vs DON'Ts), I will pepper this post with personal examples of my Hits (gems) and Misses (painful lessons) drawing from the 20+ REITs I have invested in.

Happy Mother's Day and Father's Day! AI generated image. This Mother's Day weekend (and ahead of Father's Day coming up too), I thought of writing something different - Investing from the parents' perspectives 😂 Recently, I chanced upon this interesting article from The Smart Investor here ($85,000 by 2038: 3 Stocks I’m Buying Today to Fully Fund My Child’s Degree), and found it being written from a unique angle to look at our investing goal, i.e. to fund our children's Univ
