Newbie from Singapore

[Clarice Tan]

Hi, I am 19 years old this year, still a student. I have read up abit about real estate investing, but i know it is not enough and i am giving myself a year to learn before i start investing. However, i am unfamiliar with how to start investing locally (in Singapore) and how can i start investing overseas as well? 

Can anyone advice me on these points? Also, does anyone know will it be better if i were to invest overseas, would it be a better choice to invest in property in countries closer to me like Malaysia or Indonesia, as compared to the US? 

Thank you.
