How do you make sure your capital actually works for you—and doesn’t just sit idle or worse, lose value? This episode takes a realistic look at opportunity cost, comparing the potential of real estate against dividend-paying stocks, fixed deposits, and other asset classes. It challenges the assumption that property always performs, and instead asks: when does it truly outperform?
Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers explores whether a $500,000 paper margin gain is still achievable in the current market, and what strategies can make it possible. He breaks down common traps like stagnating assets, explains the impact of lease decay, and shares how quadrant-based property selection can change your long-term results. Through examples like penthouse plays and timing your asset exits, this is a strategic guide to deploying capital with intention.
If you’re rethinking where to invest in 2025 or comparing real estate to other vehicles, this discussion offers grounded, practical insight.
