Property mix and buyer profile
Apartments, villas, townhouses and branded residences can attract very different tenants and future buyers.
Existing and future supply
Review current competition as well as the development pipeline. Future supply can affect rent, resale liquidity and differentiation.
Total ownership cost
Compare service charges, maintenance, financing, management and other recurring costs alongside the purchase price.
Exit strategy
Think about who is likely to buy the property from you later and what will make your unit more desirable than competing stock.
