compact units are definitely better rental yield wise. but you would need to be careful of stuff like capital appreciation (hardly any if rental is soft), and overall maintenance of the apartment block (since many units are rented out, maintenance isn’t top on the agenda). Furthermore, these days, tying up one person name to a compact property may be seen as a waste given the govt’s ABSD regime. But as far as rental yield is concerned, it’s optimised for it.
