Asked by
I have a HDB flat which is now valued around $650K. I have an outstanding loan of $230K. I have $10K in my CPF ordinary and cash $270K. I intend to keep this HDB and buy a 2nd property worth around $1.2 mio. I understand the current ruling stipulate LTV for 2nd mortgage loan to be capped at 60% LTV max. If is it better to pay down the HDB loan, and so the 2nd property will allow me a 80% max LTV financing for the 2nd property.... But if I pay down the outstanding mortgage loan, there will not be much left for me to even look at any 2nd property. Thank you very much!

Morning Wong,

With your current situation, it's not possible to get a property for $1.2m as the 40% would means $480k, which you are short of.
You are right that if you choose to clear your current mortgage, it's impossible for you to get your second property now. To do that, you might want to work around with what you have at hand, alongside with your credit status and income, which will determine what size and pricing you can work into.

Do let me know if you require banker to assess your ability.

Mike Lim
