The clock is ticking for all of us
Early retirement may seem like an impossibility, however, the time to plan is never too early. Not only do we want to avoid being the next Sandwich Generation, but we want to continue enjoying a certain quality of life even after foregoing employment income. Unfortunately, the likelihood seems low according to a survey by UOB (United Overseas Bank) where it was found that 2 in 3 working Singaporeans do not have savings to last them beyond 6 months (ST, Jun 2020).
This is why it is important to have alternative ways to grow our wealth early. Property is one such alternative.
Capital Appreciation & Rental Income
The two ways of growing our wealth through property are through capital gains and collecting rent. The former requires choosing undervalued properties or properties with good potential upside to sell at a profit after a few years, while the latter needs to have a ready pool of well-paying tenants.
With our experience working in the real estate industry as well as our exclusive access to years of data and market trends, we have helped many of our clients identify and invest in properties that have since provided them with high returns or a reliable stream of passive income.
also an effective alternative to cashing out on your property's capital gains after years living in your old property.
• Reduce upkeep expenses
• Reduce unnecessary maintenance fees
• Less housekeeping required

How B.A.S.E helped these families
We met Godfrey through a friend's recommendation and I was impressed with the way he prepared our house for viewing. 8 months prior, we had engaged a pair of agents to attempt to sell our house. For the next 8 months, the combined effort they had put in was probably no more than 100 calories. Less than a dozen viewings in 8 months. Unenthusiastic, uninitiative, uninterested. Not a single offer. However, within the first week of Godfrey taking over the sales, he had arranged over a dozen viewings in 2 weekends. Guided us how to clean up the place to look more presentable to buyers. Brought his own speakers to play jazz to improve the atmosphere of the house. And within 3 weeks, our house was sold. He is highly knowledgeable and very well prepared. Highly recommend his services. 👍👍👍
I was recommended to Godfrey by a close friend who was also his satisfied client. My husband and I initially intended to upgrade to a 5-room unit, however after calculations, Godfrey suggested to get an EA instead which does not differ much to a 5-room price. He helped us to secure the EA unit that we liked at a good deal. Our selling process was a breeze and Godfrey sold our house within less than a month. Our then unit was carpark-facing, on a lower floor and the entrance was facing the rubbish chute however somehow he managed to also get a good deal for selling. Not only that, as we were doing contra, Godfrey managed to help us to get an extension at no rental cost for not 1, not 2, but THREE MONTHS! This was one of the best things that we had to thank Godfrey for as the reno of our new house took close to three months due to the festive holidays. Many thanks Godfrey!
“They really make it so much easier for laymen like us. Because we are the first-time sellers and buyers of a new flat. I would give them, if possible, a 5 out of 5 review.” – Wilson Chin, IT Analyst
We met Godfrey and was interested in the BASE strategy! The BASE strategy helped us understand better the different options available for us. And through that we bought a Resale condo in 2018. And as of now, by adopting the BASE strategy, we're sitting on a paper gain of about $100k!
Godfrey is a professional & extremely knowledgeable person. With his expertise, he was able to plan out the best strategy to sell my home! Through the BASE strategy, we were able to sell our Sengkang HDB and own 2 properties! Having fulfilled our own stay, with the requirements being near Children's school & Now we're sitting on a paper gain of $200k! Thank you Home Base!
We knew Godfrey so well that we made our decision back then that we were going to hire them to help us get our flat ready to sell. And with the BASE strategy. we were provided with a new opportunity to use our next property as our investment!
