Hi. My husband and I are in our 40s and we own a 5room hdb in Sengkang, fully paid off. Have $50K cash and are looking for a 3bedroom condo in sengkang area. Total OA about 160K and total mthly income $19K. We are considering to rent out our 5-room hdb flat and purchase the condo if possible. Please advise if it is feasible with the limited cash we have in hand. Otherwise please advise what options do we have. Currently only paying for our car at $1700 per month and has 4 more years to go. No other debts. Thanks

Hi,

Its possible but do note a 7% ABSD applies on 2nd property and you can only use OA in excess of the CPF minimum sum. You can obtain max 80% loan as your hdb is fully paid off.

Another option could be to sell the hdb and purchase 2 condos on your individual names. One at Sengkang for stay, another at a growth region for potential capital appreciation gains. That way ABSD is avoided and more CPF OA can be utilized.

I have assisted clients to reorganize their property portfolio and secure their retirement. Happy to share more on their considerations and the pros & cons of all your options. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

(Client's Testimonials)

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :) Read More

Good day madam .

Please note ABSD additional buyer stamp duty of 7% is payable if your family choose to keep the hdb and buy a private property.

Alternatively you may consider selling your hdb and each buy a private property in individual name , therefore saving ABSD .

Kindly contact me HP 8333 3327  for a no obligations chat for your property needs .

My charges are 1% commission for exclusive selling rights ( sole agent ) to your hdb or 2% for open listing ( many agents ) .

No commission chargeable when i serve private property buyers .
