Realistic return for new property investment

Sifus,

In your opinion, what would be a realistic target return for new property investment nowadays? Ideally, it would great if you can also give examples based on your current inve (i.e.- bought new property last 2-3 years and get XX % returns. I do YY to get the return).

Context:
Most newly launch projects are price for future sale rather than current market price. As a result, both rental return and capital appreciation returns get depressed by the higher current price for new property.

Is it really worth it now to invest in residential property?

How do you build your target property pipeline?

I believe most people here will look at multiple property before they buy it for investment purpose (not for own stay).

Do you mind to share with us how do you build the pipeline for your target property? In other word, how do you build a list of property that you’re interested with?

Specifically,

- What kind of information resources that you use to validate your investment thesis (brickz, lowyat, specific website to alert you with new property launch?, etc)
- System that you used to track your target properties (excel, etc?)
- List of filter criterias apart from the price itself
- How would the above be different if you buy a sub-sale instead of the new property?
- How would the above be different if you buy an auction property instead of the new property?

Thank you sifu in advance 😁
