Finding a niche in a foreign country is a lot easier than it may seem.

Most require 25% down, but there are some really good niche programs out there nowadays. 

Each present a unique set of circumstances and criteria.

If you can network with others in your field and area with experience in this niche, you can always ask for referrals. 

They are not a scam, they are merely a niche product offering with a high level of risk.

For custom / unique homes in your community, check sales in the neighborhood and make an excel spreadsheet indicating SF, year built, # br # bath garage/fireplace/pool, sale price.

Do not do anything "unique" at first and keep it simple.  

Our market niche is low income housing and it's one of the ways we can keep costs down.

Investment properties aren't cheap in SG relative to MY or IDMy two cents on Singapore's property market from an expat former banker perspective:-cap rates (income-expenses before financing relative to property market price) went through the roof since people see limited land--peaked in 2015ish, but still outrageously low-interest rates dropped low enough to sustain borrowing on these low returns-building has continued without parallel demand growth (supply>demand)-Singapore employment regulations are being more and more protectionist (and an ageing population) so you won't see foreign labour growing significantly in the next 5-10 years IMOPersonally, I would be more interested in Indonesian office/industrial/MF just from macroeconomic factors, but there's opportunities in every market if you find the right niche.

I tripled my money on the first 2 sales.I believe it is a great niche, but you need to follow a system.
