Hi

I am trying to ascertain if I am in a financial position to buy a condo.

I have just received my PR, so CPF = 0
Have savings of around 60K cash.
I could borrow from credit card around 20K
So net cash available for down payment(including all extra charges) = 80K

Our family income is 10K per month.

I would like to buy a 2 or 3 bedroom flat with budget 500-600K. Size atleast 950sqft. Location should be close to some MRT and within reasonable distance from city (we work in CBD). Preference would be North East / East

I heard that banks are currently not giving any loan more than 80% for property purchase. Which complicates my situation as I am hoping for a 90% loan.

What do gurus suggest ? Should I start looking at properties now with my current financial status, or wait sometime for my savings to increase and prices to fall a bit.

Thanks

Hi MR R.N,

From the information given, you might just be able to purchase a apartment using 90% financing with the bank. Personally, I feel it is not a good idea to loan from credit card to finance a property as the interest rate is way too high.

You can call me at 9746-2435  or email me kahseng.era@gmail.com and I will get a professional banker to ascertain your financial position with no charges.

Cheers and have a nice day ! Read More
