You need to see EC new launches to drop to 400-500psf which translates to land bidding price of 100psf

Get maid to clean first...... no, no better don't as it is illegal to make maid clean the home that is not stated in their work permit.
Just day dreaming.....yup it's not practical to have a weekend home in Singapore. Doesn't make much financial sense too.

I think the 1-bedder in Archipelago still OK. Easy to maintain with homogenous tiles rather than marble. Dunno why forum members love marble so much. It's difficult to clean (if you ever tried it yourself) and need to cough up $$$ to polish in between the tenancies. There's not so large supply of 1-bedders in Bedok Reservoir area so should be able to rent out. If not, use as weekend retreat lor....

you rather sounds like an agent. no offence

haha no not at all. Am not an agent. Just a humble property owner. As a landlord, I prefer homo tiles to marble for ease of cleaning and maintenance (of course must be nice design homo tiles not those like HDB - IMO the higher end homo tiles look more modern and appealing than lower end marble).
haha no not at all. Am not an agent. Just a humble property owner.
i am not suggesting that you are an agent.
your comments sounds like agent's words that's all:)

with a budget of 250k, u are certainly priced out of Sg market with the only exception of HDB BTO flats

Err...i mean FH landed in JB cost SGD 250k, not my budget..... FH landed in SG OCR should cost ard 1.8 to 2m, even for the cheapest units now, i guess? That is certainly out of my budget...haha

But you are right though. I am certainly priced out of the HDB BTO & 1st hand EC market, hence my participation in this forum....ha

if limited budget then die die must go through that BTO first, then EC... those are important stepping stones... for each BTO & EC step you are like given $100-200K "entitlements".... ;)
i'm reserving my first timer privilege for the biggest EC when i retire... now not worth it as EC will cost me 10yrs of opportunity locked down... :D

30months wait + 3yrs construction + 5yrs mop = ~10yrs..... :simmering:
don't have that many 10yrs in my life.... ;)

even for retirees to downgrade to new EC will not be viable due to 30mths wait unless one go for rental during the waiting period
RCR studio good enough for me.
Parc Rosewood is not in RCR. Sorry la...
If the analysts' comments are in anyway accurate, then prime CCR will drop the fastest and hardest. Looking to pick up a big unit in Paterson/Orchard area for own stay. I am getting a bit sick of the congestion issue at my landed estate.

But we dun qualify for BTO and EC leh..... unless the income limit is further raised aggressively. But it seems to be a gd idea to apply for a BTO/EC when we retire. Possible to do that even if I inherit a HDB flat? Hee...
That sounds rather weird though,to apply for a BTO/EC when I retire......haha

option 1: sell condo and buy resale hdb first.... last time was nice, 3yrs mop... but now increased to 5yrs... got to wait 5yrs before can apply ec
option 2: sell and leased back condo, rent it for 2.5yrs...
:D

once MOP over, apply for EC lor...
actually should be good to buy big big ec when retire... buy those dual key... staying inside studio and let your kids stay in 2/3bdr section... can kick them out if having problems with them, and NOT kena kicked out by them and sleeping at road side... haha... ;)

for both options you have to factor in another 3yrs construction waiting period.
downgrade to HDB or smaller condo will be the only choice

Haha no lah...... Must think out of the box like our dear Yaacob.....If our millionaire minister can think abt it, so can mortals like us...... hehe...
If you transfer your property to your parent and let him to will it back to you, since there is no inheritance tax in Singapore, the property will still be yours.
For any bank loan issue, you just be the guarantor.
You can then buy EC.
Thanks,
Richard
My friend tried to sell his Bayshore Park and lease back. But failed.
True investors will not buy at this moment.
He end up just sell, and rent the next door project The Bayshore.
Moving home is still VERY troublesome even it is just next door.
Thanks,
Richard
"Divorce" with your wife and put all properties under your name.
Now she can apply EC together with the child.
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10321p.nsf/w/BuyingNewFlatEligibilitytobuynewHDBflat?OpenDocument#Citizenship
the applicant and the children under her legal custody, care and control (for widowed/ divorced)
Thanks,
Richard
PS. If wife insists to put the property under her name, you just sweet talk that you can get better bank load rate.

Why don't the gov give every household the chance to get two HDB, this way sure got lot of people get marry and have baby. One 5 room and one 3 room, got kids move to 5 room, cannot have kids move to 3 room and get 2 dogs or cats.
