Looking at my own MOP-ed HDB, net rental income plus basic investment dividends could give me around $3,000/month. In Singapore, it’s enough to get by, but in many Southeast Asian cities, it could support a comfortable upper-middle-class lifestyle, making semi-retirement abroad realistic.
For me, property offers long-term appreciation, while REITs provide steady cash flow. A mix of both seems ideal: rental income from property plus REIT dividends, bringing me closer to a true middle-class lifestyle at home or overseas.
