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.
