My experiences in HCMC and with their properties tells me that it will be a better bet to earn some big bucks thru properties in Singapore first, then retire in Malaysia. Properties in big cities in Vietnam are also rising like no one's business, borrowing rates are super high thus most still use full cash to transact. Borrowing in Malaysia is easier, houses are cheap and cost of living may be even cheaper than HCMC itself. Cost of living have raise drastically for the past 2 years in HCMC. I still remember that having a meal in Pho 24 is a cheap affair. Most recently when i had a meal in Pho 24, a similiar meal a few years ago would have cost me only 200k VND, the most recent one costs me 550k VND. Yes , VND has depreciated but not to such an extend. What most malaysians are doing, earn in Singapore, spend in Malaysia, good move. The only bad thing is, houses in Malaysia is cheap, but it doesn't appreciate much. For example, i bought a house in Iskandar Malaysia 2 years back, its cheap for that sort of land size and facilities, only 7 mins from Tuas Checkpoint. But for the past 2 years, the value hasn't risen as much as singapore. The only good point is to go in for the long weekend, buy some food from the market nearby (food is seriously much fresher and cheaper than Singapore and some are even cheaper than HCMC ) and have some good family time. :D
