This book provides a detailed and updated analysis of S-REITs with latest developments in other REIT jurisdictions and looks into protecting and growing one’s investments in REITs after the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on how a REIT investor can make millions in REITs in a systematic way. The key lies in not only having Good Performing REITs in your investment portfolio and letting them run, but also in avoiding the Bad Performing REITs or Value Traps that will drain investors’ wealth, time and emotions.

Gabriel Yap does a deep dive into how certain valuation benchmarks used by the market have proven to be faulty and gives clear guidance on how investors can grow with REITs. As inorganic growth has been an important factor in driving up REIT prices, this book also delves into REITs acquisitions with detailed case studies.
