should I invest in a property in Singapore?

My mom is bugging me to buy a place in Singapore. I can sense that she still hope that I'll return to Singapore one day to live but I'm afraid she may be disappointed. But I may still consider speaking to a real estate agent to see if it's the right time to invest in a property. I had a friend who bought a 3 room flat in Holland Village and it seemed that the ROI was pretty attractive. Investing in a property may force me to save and spend less. Besides, rental income is another good stream of income if the ROI is good. I should seriously discuss with DH about this.
