The Person Behind the Platform
Why Singapore — the story of building for Asia's most structured property market.
Singapore is the most rules-based property market in Asia — and that's the whole thing. A 3-bedroom condo in D9 is a different investment to the same square footage in D19, and the stamp duty alone can swing the all-in cost by thirty percent before the first mortgage payment.
This platform was built because too many international buyers walk into Singapore with a number in mind and no framework — missing that 60% ABSD changes everything, that freehold premiums don't always earn out, that OCR yields aren't free money, that a 99-year lease on a 25-year-old block is a different asset than the glossy brochure suggests.
Every tool here exists because somebody needed it. The ABSD calculator, because a foreign buyer looking at a S$3M condo needs to see the S$1.8M stamp duty bill up front. The mortgage calculator, because TDSR at 55% isn't a suggestion. The yield heatmap, because 2.8% in Orchard tells a different story than 3.8% in Woodlands — and both are "Singapore."
Built for the buyer who wants to understand Singapore before they commit to it.
What I Believe
Rules-based markets reward rigour
Singapore doesn't do folklore. ABSD is written down, LTV is written down, tenure is written down. The buyers who win here are the ones who treat the rulebook as an edge, not a friction.
Stamp duty is strategy, not paperwork
A 60% foreigner ABSD or a 20%/30% second-property ABSD changes the deal completely. The tools here model it up front so the cost of being a foreigner, an investor, or a company isn't a surprise at IPA.
The district mix is the portfolio
Core Central, Rest of Central, Outside Central — three markets in one island. The platform was built so you can compare them like line-items, not treat Singapore as a single ticker.
