Asked by Ms. wicked pork
I have a HDB flat which is fully paid for, now on the lookout for a private property for me to live in probably in 2 - 3 years' time (I plan to rent out the HDB). I have a couple of questions which I hope someone can enlighten me: 1) Is it easy to rent out a 3-room HDB flat in the North now or in 2-3 years time, given the market situation? 2) 2nd time loan amount - is it 50% of 60% that I can borrow now? What is the max no. of years of loan that I can take, assuming I buy a private property at age 45? I was given the following stats last year when I was scouting for a unit, not sure of its accuracy now: 1% deposit, 4% when exercise, 10% stamp duty, add 40% upfront payment, $2-3k lawyer fees. Thanks.
