For an average income earner, single.. 60-70K annual income. with 200K cpf and cash.

My plan is to buy a 2 bedroom condo for own stay under my own income and when i get married later ill buy another 2 bedroom condo under my wife's name as an investment property.

1. Now being single with the mentioned amount of CPF and Cash, is it advisable to buy a condo as a first property? or HDB?

2. As for my investment property plan under my wife's name, will she be able to get 80% loan? or 60%? Not sure if its based on household 2nd property or individual 2nd property.

2. Is a 2 bedroom condo a good investment property generally? (not to mention location)

3. Are we able to pay up more than the monthly installments of the bank loan? (to quicker pay off the loan?)

Hi Zack;

As a single now,you are not not eligible to purchase HDB yet(unless if you are above 35yrs old).You can purchase a unit by yourself and later on,your future wife can purchase one under her own name.In this instance,both are not subjected to the Additional Buyer Stamp Duty(assuming that both of you are Singaporean) and also will be eligible for max 80% loan(subjected to bank's approval).Yes,generally buyers go for 1 or 2bedrooms units for investment purposes as the quantum is affordable.I have a few new launches that are great for investments or even own stay.Mere 2 mins walk to the MRT,city fringe living with convenience at your doorstep ! Affordable pricing with early bird discounts up to 22%.Please feel free to contact me for more info.Thanks

Hi Zack

With your current income, buying of 1 or 2 bedroom condo is not an issue for you. I have a 2 bedroom unit at Lakepoint condo with an area of 1001 sqft. It is only 7 mins walk from Lakeside mrt and the asking is 800k. Cheers!

Hi Zack

As a single above 35 years of age, u r able to purchase a hdb flat, however bear in mind that minimum occupation period is 5 years, which means if u get married within 5 years, your wife in the meantime is not eligible to purchase a private residential property as well.

Assuming your wife does not own any property, she is eligible to apply for a 80% loan from the bank.

Based on the information u have provided, assuming 60k income, 30 years loan term and 1.5% interest, you can roughly get $450k loan from the bank.

If u like to pay more per month, u can option for a shorter loan period. Alternatively, prepayment is also allowed after certain loan period.

U can contact me at 94500377  should u need further assistance.
