Should I save up to buy my first investment property to rent out or invest in dividend stocks/etf for cashflow?

Hi anon, can check this page out! it lists the pros n cons of investing in real estate or ETFs, as well as some factors you shld consider (e.g. your initial capital, whether you alr own property). good luck!!

I think reits or dividends are best 😊

Depends on level of interaction desired

Personally I would invest in dividend stocks/ETFs as dividends are not taxable in Singapore, unlike rental income. There are quite a few good options on SGX including the STI ETFs.

With a property, you also have to be mindful of other costs besides just the purchase price (eg. maintenance, utility, etc), some of which are recurring too.
