On the coffee shop side, I know there are more selections than ever now, but I go to Rise Bakery a lot, and have been meaning to try out Taza, have read reviews that state its'  very study / work friendly. 

I've been studying for the past 4 month my Real Estate Sales course and been reading REI books, listening to BP podcasts and gaining as much information as possible.

Here is a Case Study #5 of a 1st lien note we picked up last year. 

If the agent calls me (they are usually slow to follow up) I will make a reasonable offer subject to inspection and a study period.Everything is negotiable - CONTROL IS KING - learn how to control real estate - it is a short cut to cash flow -  it is the best way I know of assigning properties.Who controls real estate - An agent with a listing agreement (treat them well - they are in control for a period of time)An accepted option agreementA buyer with an accepted contract of sale with contingencieshttp://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/M...Charles

We are also investors based in Melbourne and have found BP to be invaluable.Good luck with your studies and REI!

It's pretty American based though, so make sure that you find other resources to help you study the Singapore market and see if that's what you want to do.

studying for my real estate license 

(Since BP does not allow me to link to my own site, you can find it by doing a Google search on "the real estate crowdfunding review how many to diversify").There has been no definitive study done, like was done by LendingRobot and Lendingclub for peer-to-peer loans, on the amount a typical retail investor would need.

Do this for a few months – you may want to take a real estate course to get your license – Attend REIA's – BUT do not trust the sales pitches you will hear – I don’t think you should spend your money on those programs – if you want to spend some money – get a mentor –The candidate for your mentor should be financial successful – in many phases of making money in real estate; auctions, tax sales, lead generations, contract engineering, assignments as well as the many creative clauses’ used to buy real estate.I think you will do well – take it slow and easy – don’t be influenced by big talkers – counsel with spouse – create credit lines – be ready with a form packets of contracts – assignment forms – notes – disclosures and blank checks – study and learn from others ------ AND HAVE FUN – your journey to a better income and more of what you want out of life is exciting and profitable.

Currently studying, reading, and listening to everything bp has to offer and then some.
