Mr. Button, an engineer, observed that many wealthy people like to invest in property. He found that these rich people follow a rather simple strategy-buy an apartment or a shop when prices are low, rent it out, and sell when the price is right. Often, they take a loan even when they can well afford to pay in full.The engineer saw the beauty in this. To him, property seems simple to understand-all you need is a good location and a reasonable price. A good location implies good rental return and ensures that there's upside to the investment.
Taking a bank loan means leverage (杠杆作用). Not risky leverage though, because a piece of property always has value, especially in land-scarce Singapore, more so if its location is good. So, in2002, he bought an apartment in the River Valley area for $$800,000-paid 20% with cash and borrowed the rest-and rented it out for $$3,000 a month, which was barely enough to cover the mortgage repayment.
He raised it again to $3,800 in 2006 when the economy started booming again. He was getting some additional pocket money.
