Dear buyers,

Some clients I have met prefer to play it safe and they will take as little loan as possible because they do not wish to take risks in terms of having to grapple with potential uncertainties due to economy.

Other clients prefer to take advantage of the existing low interest rates and take up a mortgage loan while investing remaining cash which gives you higher returns than the current interest rates.

The key issue is how risky will the investment be? What exactly are you going to invest in? What are the guaranteed or prospective returns?

I strongly do not believe that anyone can give you a definitive answer in an uncertain economy.

Hi,

It depends on your risk appetite, and whether the balance funds available, after taking the loan, can be allocated to more productive investments. I have also seen people going straight for 2 private properties from the get-go (1 for stay, 1 for immediate rental yields) as they believe their earning power is at their highest and are comfortable. Do note that after getting the HDB, both of you cannot purchase another residential property due to the 5 year MOP period. Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,

Morning,

Should you have better use for your cash and CPF funds, and that both of you are comfortable with the monthly installment figures on the mortgage loan, it might be good to obtain one. However, if your risk appetite is low or have not intention to invest on the capital that you have in hand, it would be good to pay off your unit.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

Hi buyer,

If you're fine with re-financing your loan every few years to capitalise on the lower rates as compared to the rates earned in CPF OA, please take a loan. I'd recommend that as well.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and I'd introduce reliable and helpful bankers to you.

Thanks and regards,
