As a first timer, should I consider entering the market now? If so what projects would the old birds recommend?

If not, should I wait for things to cool off since a slew of measures of MAS have just been implemented and interest rates might rebound forcing more than a handful to sell off their property (aka another recession) hence enabling prices to drop substantially?

Of course during this period I am still working hard to expand my warchest.

Please advise, thanks.
