Garment is serious. Extracted from Today:

Tharman said garment wants to bring house prices down relative to income not just in short term but long term. Latest measure to car is to bring down sky high COE premium to alleviate inflationary pressure on economy.

Quick way to improve the relativity is to increase income. Those businesses with record profits year on year can start the ball rolling by offering more increments.

make housing cheap in the long term ... lol ... that is provided our friends in HK, Beijing, Shanghai, Australia, Taipei all can do the same? Our economy is so open, how to have a housing that is much cheaper relative to other big cities in the world? When the whole world is printing money and exporting inflation like crazy ... how can Singapore housing price be cheap unless garmen selling GLS way below international valuation?

Beware low interest till 2030

Increase salary will lose competitive edge and cost of living will go up. Likely to have more progressive taxation scheme. :scared-4:

got to dig deeper to understand. 30% MSR is based on income. If implemented, then ABL option is useless as it's not based on income.

taking equity out of an asset is the foundation of the capitalist free market system. It is an instrument vital to investors especially those that really depended on investment for a living.

With asset line, whenever there is an increase in valuation, one could cash out a portion of it. this will benefit those leasehold assets too.

However, if this scheme is taken off. Good luck to the 99 years leasehold landed.

Usually Asset base lending is based on 40% deposit and 60% bank loan and no income is require for you to take up a housing loan coz the value of the property is backed up by your pte property valuation. In the event that the purchaser default payment, the bank is well guarded and can repossess the property and sell it at auction.

sgLion
08-03-13, 09:30
You guys say I say like this correct or not:

Now whenever I sell one property, I cannot replace liao because of the opportunity cost of the stamp duties tiobo?

So if I keep unloading, that means I cannot put the cash back into property tiobo?

So put where? Commercial ? Factory ?

Otherwise the three local banks may merge if many borrowers defaults.

Removal of abl is essential when ltv reduced to 60% or less.

It is dangerous to many marginal investors who think they can afford the property as long as they can foot the initial 50-60% downpayment.

sgLion
08-03-13, 09:39

frankly, i don't think i want to hold more than 2 properties now. because i am afraid the next demand will be hammered because of the measures. Those first time property buyer demand will definately run out in the forseeable future.

so, i am unloading as i m expecting a price drop in landed very very soon ( May 2013) .

Then it means no more leveraging on property/stocks/BONDS/INSURANCE as collateral for the loan.

it does affect those banks that allow ABL. Some banks are quite aggressive in this, to provide financing for foreigners who dont want to proof their income (eg PRC, Indon). Ppl with low income will be hit. Low doesnt mean poor ppl. It include cash-rich retirees, business owners, sales ppl etc whose bulk of income is NOT from basic salary.

Eg For ppl on 90/10 comm scheme and make 100k, their MSR is similar as someone who earn 75k basic salary (assuming everything else is constant).

if this goes through, then what happens to commercial companies? banks no longer accept assets as collaterals in loans??

May I ask if MSR = mortgage servicing rights?

May I ask if MSR = mortgage servicing rights?

MSR = Mortgage Serving Ratio or the percentage of your income against the mortgaged instrument, in our case the Housing Loan.

In other countries, can use other assets like gold, stocks or equity. Here I dunno can or not or maybe they got some other fancy names for the same concept ratio.

Good Luck.

sgLion
10-03-13, 06:37
MSR = Mortgage Serving Ratio or in Singapore they wrongly labelled as Mortgage Servicing Ratio.

MY REAL Example:

My yearly income ( all inclusive ) is S$876,000.
My mortgage installment per month for my properties is S$55,000

hence, my monthly income is 876,000/12 = S$73,000
My monthly installment as above is = S$55,000

Therefore, my MSR for my properties will be : (55,000/73,000 )x 100 = 75%
( my time banks never use the flawed MSR concept la..woahehahahaheheheeh )

which you can see, is way above the 40% MSR.

However, I can still survive because my monthly living expenses is only $15,000

Or rather, 73,000- 55,000 = $18000

So I still got savings of S$3000 every month.

So I think this MSR concept is flawed la- JMHO. Dun be anger hor.

WOAHAHAHEHHEHEHE

"Flawed" financial or banking concepts or philosophy or theories have been making me very rich over the past 25 years of my life.

Recently, the volume of such "concepts" accelerated, hence increasing my wealth many folds.

Contrary to popular beliefs, it is not the low interest rates that caused this. But the "FLAWED" perception of oil, gold, corn, euro, yen and US$ that actually multiplied my wealth tremendously.

And when I say tremendous, I mean I am in the league of people like Warren Buffett,and not Li Ka Shing.

Good Luck.

All companies use asset based lending in some way or another to grow their businesses, such assets may be other than properties although properties is most common.

REITs and hospitality operators are the biggest users of asset-based lending to grow their portfolios.
If asset based lending is to be removed for properties, it has to be for all properties right? I would believe that to be fair, all kind of properties, including private, commercial, industrial, retail, hospitality (hotels & service apartment, medical suites etc) properties etc will all be subjected to same rules right? :beats-me-man:
