To be fair to her, I do commend her for her savviness in investing at a time when most people her age would be spending money and having fun.

But the idea of posting such interviews is to study and scrutinize; not for the sake of criticising but also for learning and to understand how these young minds work.

My take on this is - if you paid too high a price and did not do your proper due diligence, "investing" can easily degenerate into speculation. This is the same with equities as well.

So to be clear, I am not saying she should not invest in property, but to do so requires a lot of planning as well as deep pockets. I certainly hope she has both! Smile
