Hi,
1) Funds in the CPF account were initially designed only for our retirement when it was initially started up.
2) It was only in a later stage it allowed us to make use of the funds to buy our own property.
3) After much evolution, it is then split into 3 accounts; namely OA (Ordinary Account), SA (Special Account) & MA (Medical Account).
4) Only funds in OA are allowed to be used for our property purchase; i.e. down payment and servicing of mortgage.
5) Some after many years of saving, they could have comfortably fully paid off their 1st property and wished to make use of the fund in OA for 2nd property.
6) Under this circumstance, you will have to set aside a Basic Retirement Sum (BRS: $83k in 2021, $86k from 1 Jan 2022) in your CPF account.
7) This BRS can be calculated from SA, followed by OA if the fund in SA is insufficient to cover the BRS.
8) Example, your SA has $60k, your OA has $200k. $60k (SA) + $23k (OA) = $83k. The remaining ($200k - $23k = $177k) $177k in OA can be used for your 2nd property.
