Accomodation tips: deals, house-sitting, sourcing value
Posted: Wed, 08 May 2013 7:16 pm
We're going through the process of trying to figure out where to live, and will start viewing places within the week I expect.
We expect to end up in the Toa Payoh, Braddel, Newton, Novena ... ish - kind of area. But area is based on past experience, and is not everything.
As we start this process, I thought I'd also ask here, in parallel if anyone knows of any 'mutually beneficial deals', or has any tips beyond using the agent that we have and trust (she's a relative of ours)?
Does anyone know of anyone who has a place they want house-sitting for the longer term? Or good value places coming up for let (example: the Ports Authority used to let out Black and Whites, down Mt. Faber way, for peanuts).
My wife is a local professional. I'm a landlord myself (well versed in how to respect a place, take care of it, as well as general upkeep and maintenance).
It is not that I'm expecting to find by anything asking this here, it is more I'd feel negligent not even asking
