Mr Josh Liaw had his sums all worked out when he decided to live in a rental property in Seletar while letting out his apartment in the prime River Valley area.
Doing so nets him an additional monthly cash flow of $1,000, which comes in handy for his other investments in shares and real estate investment trusts (Reits).
