Based on the following schedule for DTL3, civil tender calling will begin in October... therefore, the actual location for DTL3 stations may be announced to the public by October '09, let's wait and see
wow....did u manage to have a sneak peep at the blueprint? so chances r it will be on the extreme opposite end of the park....so in this case LTA would have blanket most of the residential areas in the area....i.e. Bedok Reservoir Blk 600+, Blk 750+, Bedok North Blk 520+ and Yu Neng Primary school area all are covered.....
meaning the MRT should be directly behind Baywater/Waterfront Key area?.....

Yes, its a direct cut and paste....even the brochures print are similar.....
the only diff is Mi Casa gets the Mediterranean styled buliding....other than tat you can say its Mi Casa of the east.....hahaha.....only thing WFK is much more expensive and comes with Marble Flooring....

i think we did sufficient research n analysis for the prediction of future mrt station... If you want to get better assurance, you can walk down to the park n talk to those soil investigators... Or mayb ppl from LTA if you hav insiders...
If there is NO mrt station in the park at all during the official announcement, we are still happy with in... The main thing for us is the beautiful reservoir n its nature surrounding... This is the main selling point of WFW/WFK

(1) When applying for a home loan for a private condo, do banks consider both me and my girlfriend's combined earning power or only mine? (we are only planning to get married/ROM only 2 years later, so at the time of applying for the loan, our status will still be single)
(2) I calculated roughly a $700k loan for a condo will mean around loan payment of $2,800/mth. Can my girlfriend's and my CPF be utilised to pay this monthly loan amount or we can only use cash to pay the bank? If can use cpf, how much is the max we can use per month?
Advance thanks for your kind advices!
Alan
Developer should noe better......to put it nicely....nowadays ppl use convectional microwave oven....no one use the traditional type....to put it bluntly....is to save cost....
Both Swing door and sliding door have advantage and disadvantage...for sliding type...its better to get ones that comes with carcass vs the type without...most of the new condo comes without the carcass...making it a bit flimsy....
for swing door...the wardrobe is very sturdy but if the room is small, then the swing door will take up slightly more space as you will need to cater enouf space for the door to open....

2. Yes, you can use CPF to pay for the monthly installment even you guys are still not married... You can also use the CPF to pay for the 15% downpayment but the first 5% must be paid by cash. You can also use CPF to pay for the stamp duty.
So, which unit are you looking at? and at what price?

If both of you will be the joint owner of the property, then both income will be considered.

max contribution in your ordinary CPF account. you can pay more through cpf if you have enough saving in the ordinary account until use up. but may want to consider keeping min sum in ordinary account instead of using it for instalment (meaning not using more than monthly contribution).

Thanks for your advices. For the 2nd question, I know the 15% can pay using cpf. How about the monthly loan payment ($2800) to the bank? My gf and my cpf contribution per month is around 2800 also. Can all of it be channeled to pay the monthly loan?
You and gf CPF (total or OA) is 2.8k ?! After a certain income level (is it 4.5k), your CPF OA contribution will be max about 1,000$ only right? So if you n gf income is 4.5k each, you can only pay up to 2k per month from your CPF OA. Correct me if I am wrong. May b u and gf all have 6m bonus per yearOriginally Posted by linchong84
