1. Feng Shui tips for buying a house near a Cemetery
Property prices near cemetery are probably cheaper as compared to other areas. But in feng shui, burial areas are categorised as Yin in nature, so it is not ideal for your home to be near or within one in the vicinity of your neighbourhood. Residents living near the cemetery would more likely be affected psychologically as Yin energy enters the house.
If you are living next to a burial ground, the people in your home will feel general uneasiness, discomfort or paranoia. There is an exception – if the living space is separated from the graveyard by a busy road, the Yin energy will disperse.
2. Feng Shui tips for buying a house near a MRT/LRT

Feng shui wise, do reconsider if you are thinking about purchasing a property that is too close to an MRT / LRT station or near the train tracks. A house or real estate close to such amenities would mean that your potential home is exposed to the merciless Qi or Sha Qi. The fast-moving train will contribute unnecessary stress to your home’s occupants, resulting in needless quarrels and disagreements. If your property is near these amenities, you might want to check if the Sha Qi can be deflected to prevent it from entering the house.
