Hi, Lets just compare these two scenarios without the fact that you might have CPF for second property purchase: If you fully pay your HDB loan and able to take up 80% loan for second property, your cash outlay could be around $200k ($100k repayment + $100k downpayment). While you decide to go ahead without paying off your HDB loan, you are only able to take up 50% loan which means that you need to fork out $250k downpayment. That will be a difference of $50k not inclusive of buyer's stamp duty, additional buyer's stamp duty for second party, legal fees etc. Even though, it means lesser cash outlay, it will also means you took a larger loan. Depends on your finances, you choose the option that best suits you. If you need any assistance in property purchase/ financial planning, I hope my accounting knowledge will be of great help to you.
