Most real estate investors invest out of state, halfway across the country.
But none invest from halfway across the world.
So here's exactly how I bought my 1st property remotely, 9,544 miles away, right at the start of Covid in 2020.
We own 28 houses in the US, and we always get comments saying we're taking homes away from locals.
So I looked at the numbers… and how much foreign buyers account for in the US housing market.
Do you think foreign buyers like us are actually causing homelessness? 👇
There are 5 stages between being broke and being financially free.
The uncomfortable part: You can earn a good salary, have 6–12 months of savings, and still be completely dependent on your job.
Which stage are you on?

Do you know how much you need to retire, for real?
I started by tracking where every dollar went. After 12 months, I knew exactly what it cost to run my life.

I spent $60K in 2025 as a Singaporean in my 30s.
But don’t compare your number to mine. Your life, family, and priorities will be different.
The only way to find your retirement number is to track it.

I spent $60,000 last year. That's the amount of passive income I needed to retire. But that doesn't mean yours is the same.
I made the exact spreadsheet I use to work out my retirement number.

I worked for 10 years and saved $300,000.
Then I realised that if I stopped working, it would only buy me about 5 years before I had to go back to work.
That's a viscious rat race cycle.
About $71,000 a year - that's the average Singapore household's spending according to Singstat’s latest survey. But your number probably looks very different.
In this video, I show you the simple spreadsheet I use to track my expenses by category, month, and year.
That's the part of rental income we really like: our time and location are not determined by a boss.

Someone smashed the back window of our US rental property and went inside to sleep.
We were in Singapore; our property manager called the police, and this is the actual footage of what happened.

Most people think a rental property makes money from rent.
But our properties actually pay us in four different ways, and the fourth one is something most people completely overlook.

US$36,357 in gross rent sounds pretty good.
But after mortgages, management, repairs and a vacancy, we kept US$8,310 in August.
It was a bad month for us, and we’re showing the numbers anyway.

Most people think a mortgage is something the landlord has to pay off.
But if your rental property is producing positive cashflow, your tenant is helping pay down that mortgage every month, which means your equity keeps growing.

You can leave S$100,000 sitting in your bank account and feel like you're being safe.
But every year, inflation quietly eats away at what that money can actually buy.

I used to think debt was something to avoid.
Then I ran the numbers on the exact same $150,000 rental property buying with cash vs using a mortgage.
With the same $150,000 starting point, the mortgage strategy produced roughly 3X the wealth over 5 years under these assumptions.
We bought this house for $122,000.
Less than 6 months later, it was valued at $187,000.
That’s a 44% jump.
Most people think property appreciation means buying a house, waiting 3 to 5 years, and hoping the market goes up 3% to 5% a year.
That’s too slow. Here's how we do.
