General Investing

I would like to invest in S&P500, but after googling and asking around I'm still quite uncertain. Looking to deposit around $500/month into a ETF. Any advice?

Should I use local brokerage (SCB was recommended to invest in IWDA? FSMone looks nice to me) or international brokerage (first trade has $0 commission, Kristal AI has free trade for first $50k, IB is quite pricey at $10/month)

For Singapore, better to use Ireland-Domiciled ETFs right? Any significant difference for VUSA, SPX5, IUSA? I noted SPX5 has slightly higher expense ratio

IB also offer free service. It is called IBKR Lite. If you just want to buy ETF, I suggest you to buy it through brokerage account. You can simply buy SPY which has relatively low expense ratio. It is also highly liquid.

How do I start investing in REITs ETF? Looking at ETF because I'm not super familiar with real estate so I would like to diversify my risk.
