Thanks Mr Phong Vo and Octa Group for helping me with buying a land to build my first home. I have been through some challenges in the last 2 years and Phong was there to suggest different solutions. I appreciate his supports as I know that he didn’t only sell the package but also guide us to make the right decision. I was impressed with the care plan Phong and his team create for each customer to ensure the process goes smoothly. It’s really important when you have an issue and someone there to help you to solve it especially when buying your first house. I learnt a lot from Phong and his team. Highly recommended Octa Group.

When should I consider selling properties, and how do I time the market effectively?
Strategic disposal is as important as acquisition for portfolio optimization:

Strategic Portfolio Reasons:
Rebalancing: Shifting from growth to yield focus or vice versa
Concentration risk: Too much exposure to single market or property type
Liquidity needs: Accessing capital for better opportunities or personal needs

Regional markets: Case-by-case analysis based on local conditions
Exit Strategy Framework:
Annual portfolio review: Assess each property's contribution to goals
Market cycle analysis: Understand where each market sits in its cycle
Personal circumstances: Changes in financial situation or goals
Opportunity cost: Whether capital could be better deployed elsewhere
