I am back blogging about the Australian property market. Ever since the SMART expo in the March, I have been busy preparing plans for clients. Well, the good news is my biz partner Steve will be back in Singapore in July 2009 for a seminar together with a great pal of mine, Mr. Alexander Wong, director of SAGE private clients pty ltd. My friendship
with Alex went a long way back to 2004-5 when I first met him in Melbourne, Australia.

This time both of them will be present to tackle issues that property investors are concerned with - Taxation and property investment strategies. They come hand in hand because one affects the other. Like what Stephen Covey says,’Begin with the end in mind’. That’s exactly what property investors should do to maximize tax benefits(eventually profits) with a property plan. Both will be discussed and as property investors, you are highly encouraged to attend. Mark on your calendar, 15 July (Wed) at 61 Robinsons Road, ERC Robinson Centre. My clients know I am not really into seminars but I do all these to help equip them with more information so that they understand what they have done ever since they started investing in the Aussie property market.

It will be busy times ahead for me till end of the year. The AUDSGD has recently transacted above 1.1900 which is a sign of recovery. With rising commodity and oil prices, there can only be one direction the AUDSGD is heading - northwards! Baring any unforeseen circumstances, industry analysts are looking at new levels of AUDSGD at 1.2000 by end of the year. Gone were the days where AUDSGD are on par. For those of you who have procrastinated and missed out on the 1:1 levels, you can still capitalize on the exchange now; however time is really not our friend.

Back to work, see you soon!
