Asked by
Hi, I'm from Australia and had been working in Singapore for the past 3 years.

I want to buy a condo unit for Personal stay and if it has investment potential, I would like to get another unit. Any good recommendation which I can get a good ROI (after all the liabilities/expenses)? In Orchard Area or any area you would recommend for investment?

I'm quite confused with the payment.

To what I know from my friends is:

1) If new project under construction, I can get 80% loan from bank but I need to pay 20% upfront first?

Which means if I buy a $1million property, I need to have $200,000 Cash?

2) As for 2nd hand apartment, apparently from my friend is 5% cash is needed for upfront, but as loan from bank is only 80%, would it means I need 20% cash for payment?

Hi John,

It works like this in Singapore for Singaporean Citizen/PR.
5% cash upfront
15% cash/CPF
80% Bank loan
My guess is you don't have a CPF thus when you acquire a new property, you've to fork out 20% cash. Depending on the developer for the new launches, it's usually progress payment schedule for the bank loans where you'll do a progressive bank installment.
Ultimately, you've to fork out at least 20% in cash upfront. Once your able to fork out the 20%, only then will the bank loan the amount to you.
